Chris Plackett is taking over as Managing Director from Andrew Kneeshaw who, after 17 years in the post, is stepping down to take a general directorial role prior to his retirement later this year.

Andrew says, “I’ve worked with Chris for over 20 years, and together we’ve structured a carefully planned hand-over to ensure that the business will continue with no interruption. I’m confident that Chris will lead the business to continued growth and success”.

Chris Plackett started here in 1993 and has held the post of Commercial Director for 11 years. Prior to that, he worked with ADAS and the energy utility Powergen.

Chris commented “Andrew is handing over at a time when FEC Energy is in a very strong position and this is going to allow us to capitalise on the opportunities that the UK Energy market presents. Energy saving and renewable energy are now an integral part of many of the UK’s leading farming companies. We, as market leaders in this area, are looking forward to a prosperous future.”
