Derry-based utility company announces new appointments

Paddy Leonard, 27 Jan

Click Energy has appointed Andy Porter as their new managing director

with immediate effect, while Philip McDaid, who had been serving as

interim CEO, has been named as finance director.

Mr Porter will now be responsible for leading the Derry-based company's

operational and strategic direction, bringing a wealth of experience

and knowledge to the role.

He has been with Click Energy since its inception in 2015 and

previously served as operations manager, playing a key role in helping

the delivery of Government energy support schemes in Northern Ireland

this winter, while also establishing a proven track record in driving

growth, innovation and, importantly, consumer satisfaction.

Having held senior roles with two of Northern Ireland’s leading

electricity suppliers, Mr Porter is also well-versed in the challenges

and opportunities of the region’s complex energy market, in what is a

fitting appointment to lead Click Energy into its next phase of

development. As well as overseeing the overall strategy and operations,

he will also lead the efforts to develop new partnerships and

collaborations to further expand the company’s reach to households and

businesses across Northern Ireland.

Mr Porter said: “This appointment is a huge honour and, having been

with Click Energy since the beginning, I’m thrilled at the prospect of

pushing us to new heights.

“Amid the many opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, I am

thoroughly committed to working closely with consumers, stakeholders,

and the community to create a sustainable and affordable energy future

for Northern Ireland.

“Furthermore, I’m also looking forward to continuing the impressive

work already being carried out by our talented team to deliver

exceptional service to both our domestic and commercial customers.”

Mr McDaid will be responsible for all long-term financial aspects of

Click Energy. He will work closely with Mr Porter and other senior

management to develop and implement strategic pathways which will help

deliver organisational growth objectives.

An ACCA qualified accountant, Mr McDaid has been involved in the

utilities industry since 2014. He has previous experience in a number

of senior financial roles, ranging from financial controller to head of

finance.

"I am honoured to have been appointed as the company’s finance

director," said Mr McDaid. "As the energy industry continues to evolve

and innovate, I am excited to be stepping into this role at such an

exciting time for Click Energy. Andy's experience and knowledge will be

invaluable as we continue to grow and innovate in the Northern Irish

energy market. We can be confident that under his leadership, we will

be able to deliver exceptional service to our customers and make a

positive impact on the community."

Mr Porter added: "Philip's expertise in financial planning and

analysis, as well as his strong strategic mindset, will be a valuable

asset to Click Energy as we continue to grow and expand. We look

forward to the contributions he will make to our continued success."
