SunPower Group, the UK’s leading distributor of power and lighting products, has announced the appointment of Russell Parr as Sales & Marketing Director, giving insight into SunPower’s half year results where they have seen exponential growth exceeding expectation.
Parr joined the business in November 2020 from Primelight Electrical where he ascended through a series of senior sales and operations positions, eventually serving as Sales & Marketing Director, leading growth efforts, following its acquisition by a private equity firm.
Commenting on the appointment, Andy Wall, CEO of SunPower, stated, “Russell brings a wealth of sales experience and achievement to the SunPower team, being the clear choice to help us deliver on our ambitious growth plans as we look to strategically double the business over the next 5 years.”
Alongside this Parr added, “SunPower is a fantastic business with a vastly experienced team, I look forward to continuing our journey together. Consolidating on our plans, will allow us to build upon the great foundations we already have in place to drive SunPower’s potential business growth forward. It was a real breath of fresh air to join a business with such an amazing reputation, systems, and people.”
Whilst most businesses have reported a strong post-pandemic performance improvement, SunPower has accomplished a step further by outperforming its 2019 figures which in itself was a record year. Parr commented, “The combination of quality, market leading products and the ability to be a technical partner to our customers has helped us to consolidate our leading position, this is a key factor in achieving our outstanding performance.”
