Reynolds named new Britishvolt CFO
Britishvolt has named William Reynolds as chief financial officer.
Reynolds has more than 20 years’ experience in global fundraising initiatives for companies, strategic planning and financial and operations management.
The company’s first battery Gigaplant, with an investment of £2.6bn, will create over 3,000 jobs.
CEO Orral Nadjari said: “With his industry expertise and experience, CFO Reynolds will accelerate Britishvolt’s collaboration with the UK government as a valued partner in developing an innovative and uniquely British battery supply chain. Based on his executive management roles within the energy and construction industries, his strong track record of raising capital and his expertise in the energy industry make him the ideal CFO to lead Britishvolt to its next chapter of growth and success.”
Reynolds said: “I believe Britishvolt has a tremendous ability to leverage the UK Government’s insightful investment in a state-of-the-art Battery Pilot Plant to meet the unique demands of the global climate crisis. As the UK continues to pursue a net zero emissions future by 2050, Britishvolt is poised to play a pivotal role at the forefront of this mission. I look forward to a bright future for Britishvolt and guiding it to become a leader in the global battery technology and energy storage business.”
