Johnson Controls has appointed Georgina Perkins as Head of Technical Energy Solutions, EMEA, with responsibility for developing technical energy solutions for industrial environments.

In this new role Georgina will be responsible for creating and implementing a portfolio of solutions to help Johnson Controls clients manage and reduce their energy, operating and capital budgets. “My appointment represents Johnson Controls commitment to delivering comprehensive energy services for its clients” commented Georgina. “I will be working as part of a pan-EMEA Energy team creating and implementing solutions for all types of workspace from offices to manufacturing environments”.

Andrew Bray, Head of Energy Services, states: “I am delighted to welcome Georgina as part of our team, her extensive experience and knowledge in the energy field made her the ideal candidate for this position. Georgina’s appointment is a key part of our strategy to establish and strengthen Johnson Controls Energy offering. Historically, most of our energy work has been focused on office environments. As a customer-centric organisation it is equally important to focus on non-office sites, and therefore we need to invest in new talent to expand the capabilities of the Energy team. I believe that Georgina will be an excellent addition to the team and will provide the specialist knowledge our European customers need.”

Georgina joins Johnson Controls from Siemens Building Technologies where she was UK Energy Business Development Manager, promoting and growing energy product sales and services throughout the UK and Ireland. As an approved speaker and trainer for CISBE Georgina also hosts training events at national trade shows under the Continuous Professional Development programme for the building industry. Georgina is also a Gambica and Energy Institute member.
