Having completed five years’ service with the company, Will Morris has decided to step down as Managing Director, Retail and leave SSE at the end of September to take forward new opportunities.
While the longer term leadership structure within Retail is reviewed, Will’s responsibilities will be divided between two new Retail Co-Heads, who step into expanded roles: Stephen Forbes, who becomes Chief Commercial Officer, and Tony Keeling, who becomes Chief Operations Officer.
Alistair Phillips-Davies, Chief Executive of SSE, said:
“I would like to thank Will for everything he has done in leading SSE’s household energy and services business, especially building on SSE’s positive customer-focused culture and engagement with key stakeholders. Between them, Stephen and Tony have over 30 years’ energy sector experience and together with the wider management team will provide strong and focused leadership for our household energy and service business in Great Britain. I look forward to working with them on taking forward the Retail business and responding to the current challenges and opportunities it faces.”
Will Morris said:
“I am proud of the customer centred business the Retail team has built over the last five years and am confident Stephen and Tony, along with Stephen Wheeler in Ireland, will continue to provide strong leadership. SSE has been a great company to work for and I am very grateful for the support and collaboration I’ve enjoyed from my Retail team and colleagues right across the SSE Group.”
