An electrical engineer by background, Felton also has broad industry experience with senior roles across a variety of sectors. These include positions at Scottish Power, United Utilities, ALSTOM, Balfour Beatty, Wood, Freedom, Signalling Solutions and Chubb.

His experience spans customer operations, original equipment manufacturing, EPC contracting, rail signalling, and fire and security systems.

Felton’s expertise in critical national infrastructure and passion for accelerating the transition to net zero align with EO’s mission to deliver best-in-class infrastructure for commercial fleets worldwide.

Felton shared: “What led me to join EO was the enthusiasm and drive of the team. Their ambition to grow resonated with me. Coming from a transmission and distribution background, I see parallels with the rapid transition needed in the EV sector to meet net zero targets. EO is well-positioned to lead the way.”

In his new role, Felton will focus on building a best-in-class team capable of engineering, procuring and constructing the infrastructure that customers need to electrify their fleets quickly and efficiently.

Felton also sees significant opportunities in the EV charging industry ahead.

“Beyond bus electrification, the major electrical infrastructure investments across the UK, USA and EMEA highlight the need for local customer access to charging solutions. This includes supporting companies, contractors and hauliers as they transition to electric fleets.”

Felton added that EO’s expansion will come from futureproofing customer access to fully-monitored, controlled electrification solutions.

“EO will set the standards in designing, building, operating and controlling electrified fleets, ensuring our customers can operate with confidence and reliability,” he explained.
