Fuuse appoints new chief executive

Lancaster-based electric vehicle charging software provider Fuuse has appointed Roger Hunter as chief executive as it enters its next phase of growth.

Roger brings extensive leadership experience from across the EV charging sector, having previously served as global vice president of e-mobility at Shell, where he led Shell Recharge Solutions. 

He is also a non-executive director at Baltic charge point operator Ignitis and has held senior global roles with BorgWarner.

He will succeed founder Michael Gibson, who will step down in September after a decade leading the business. 

The pair will work together during a handover period to ensure a smooth transition.

Roger said: “I am delighted to be joining Fuuse at such a pivotal moment. 

“Fuuse is the leading CPMS in the UK with a reputation for excellence and I look forward to building on those strong foundations to support the company’s next stage of growth. 

“The EV charging market is entering a critical phase of maturation, and Fuuse is exceptionally well-positioned to lead it.”

Michael added: “Roger's experience is outstanding and I am confident Fuuse will be in the very best of hands. 

“Over the past decade we have built one of the UK's fastest-growing tech companies, won a roster of clients that includes hundreds of household names, and become one of the UK's most influential companies in the EV charging sector. 

“I leave immensely proud of what the team has achieved - and confident this will only get stronger.”

Roger’s appointment comes after a period of rapid growth for Fuuse, which launched its charge point management platform in 2021 and secured an £8.7 million Series A funding round in 2024. 

The business is now focused on strengthening its position in the UK EV charging market.

Paul Brennan, chairman of Fuuse, added: “This is a transition that Michael planned thoughtfully and on his own terms - a testament to the leader he is. 

“He has built an exceptional business, and the board is deeply grateful for his commitment and vision. 

“We are equally delighted to welcome Roger, who brings deep experience across the global EV industry, a clear-eyed view of where the market is heading, and the leadership credentials to take Fuuse further still.”
