The formation of Gridserve Global aims to build on Gridserve’s pioneering track record in the UK as a leading innovator in the EV market, creating a global technology powerhouse, taking the Gridserve name and innovative technology into new markets.

Gridserve in the UK will continue to focus on expanding its leading EV charging network, the Gridserve Electric Highway, including developing, delivering, and operating new electric super hubs, electric forecourts, and electric heavy goods vehicle charging facilities, powered by renewable energy, and directly connected solar. It will continue to deliver the best possible customer experience, supported by innovative digital solutions for customers.

Gridserve founder and CEO Toddington Harper, along with his brother, Heston Harper, co-founder and CEO of Apac, will now focus on building Gridserve Global. Gridserve’s executive chairman, Roy Williamson, will take interim leadership of Gridserve in the UK. Toddington will remain a member of the board and major shareholder of Gridserve in the UK.

Gridserve Global will become a technology powerhouse, developing unrivalled technology to further strengthen the company’s technology leadership position in the UK, and to support new world class EV partner networks around the world. Both Gridserve businesses intend to unlock multiple synergies through working closely together.
