EV-Box has made a new appointment to its UK team and moved offices to Manchester.

EV-Box has moved to a new HQ in Manchester.

The electric vehicle charging solutions provider started operations in the UK and Ireland in May 2016 and has also signed partnerships with firms such as Rexel and Alternergy.

Now the firm has decided to move its UK and Ireland headquarters from London to Manchester, citing reasons including the fact that Manchester tech scene has a £2.2bn output and was recently voted as the best European location to do business.

In addition, Martyn Crabb has joined as partner manager distribution channel for both the UK and Ireland markets. Crabb has spent the last four years at Rexel UK with responsibility for developing the electric vehicle charging infrastructure offering.

Crabb said: “I’ve had the pleasure to work with EV-Box as a partner of Rexel UK Ltd. and seen first hand the smart charging technology benefits and expertise of the company. By joining EV-Box, I hope to expand the channel for distribution across the UK and build a professional installer network to increase the smart charging technology adoption.”
