Roger Hunter has been appointed CEO of electric vehicle charge point firm Fuuse.
Hunter brings extensive senior leadership experience across the EV charging sector, including as global vice president, e-mobility at Shell, where he headed up Shell Recharge Solutions.
He is an independent non-executive director at Ignitis, the largest charge point operator in the Baltics and was previously accountable for EV charging globally at BorgWarner.
Founder and current CEO Michael Gibson will step down on 1st September following a decade leading the business. Gibson started the company in 2016 as a data analytics business before launching Fuuse in June 2021.
Since then, he has overseen the rapid growth and several funding rounds including its £8.7 million Series A in May 2024. Hunter will work alongside Gibson during a handover period ahead of formally assuming the role.
“Roger’s experience is outstanding and I am confident Fuuse will be in the very best of hands,” said Gibson. “Over the past decade we have built one of the UK’s fastest-growing tech companies, won a roster of clients that includes hundreds of household names, and become one of the UK’s most influential companies in the EV charging sector.
“I leave immensely proud of what the team has achieved – and confident this will only get stronger.”
Fuuse, based in Lancaster, supports over 1,000 commercial clients and partners including Scottish Power, Arnold Clark, SSE and United Utilities.
It was ranked the fifth fastest-growing company in the 2026 Northern Tech Awards.
Hunter said: “I am delighted to be joining Fuuse at such a pivotal moment. Fuuse is the leading CPMS (charge point management system) in the UK with a reputation for excellence and I look forward to building on those strong foundations to support the company’s next stage of growth.
“The EV charging market is entering a critical phase of maturation, and Fuuse is exceptionally well-positioned to lead it.”
Paul Brennan, chairman of Fuuse, said: “This is a transition that Michael planned thoughtfully and on his own terms – a testament to the leader he is. He has built an exceptional business, and the board is deeply grateful for his commitment and vision.
“We are equally delighted to welcome Roger, who brings deep experience across the global EV industry, a clear-eyed view of where the market is heading, and the leadership credentials to take Fuuse further still.”
