In this episode of Lessons I Learned in Law, Scott Brown speaks to Ailsa Zoya Longmuir, General Counsel for Centrica Energy Marketing & Trading and Centrica Business Solutions. Ailsa has been with Centica for 12 years and is responsible for all Legal, Compliance and Regulatory Affairs matters for these business units globally. She is a leading Executive Sponsor for Diversity & Inclusion and Charitable Initiatives and is also chairwoman of Centrica Energy Trading A/S' board. Ailsa shares the three lessons she's learned in law including:· Isolate the issue. Try to advise the business on what they need to know, rather than overdelivering with unnecessary information. · Ask why! You need to fully understand the business and its goals in order to effectively advise. · Trust your instincts. If you have a gut feeling about something, it is quite often correct! Ailsa explains the structure of the legal team at Centrica, and why she thinks legal teams are integral to the success of the business they're advising. Including the legal team in decision making will ‘improve their commerciality in the long run, and give them the ability to come up with more creative legal solutions to make what the business wants to happen, happen'. Ailsa also reveals the impact that the Russia-Ukraine war has had on Centrica as a business and the energy market more broadly. Presented by Scott Brown of Heriot Brown Legal Recruitment.

Episode 116 of edie's Sustainable Business Covered podcast is hosted by senior reporter Sarah George, who travels to Saltend Chemicals Park in Hull to learn about the development of a major blue hydrogen project. She then puts some FAQs on hydrogen to Centrica Business Solutions' head of hydrogen, William Mezzulo. Centrica Business Solutions are sponsoring this episode as part of their joint Masters series with edie.
In response to the accelerated pace at which corporates are examining and setting net-zero targets to help alleviate the climate crisis, edie has launched a new spin-off of the Sustainable Business Covered podcast. In each episode, we provide exclusive net-zero interviews and news updates in less than 35 minutes. Up next, we discuss the low-carbon heat transition with the Heat Pump Federation's Bean Beanland and Centrica Business Solutions' Michael Firth, for a special sponsored episode.
The Business Marketing Community from across client-side, agency, and consultancy gather to discuss how they are responding to the covid-19 crisis and where to focus next. This week B2B marketer Dave Stevens hears from Centrica Business Solutions's Nic Midegs, WoolfHodson's Caroline Hodson, and Unmind's Oliver Matejka, and Make Digital Work's Helen Tonetti.
In this episode of AMP Up Your Digital Marketing, Glenn Gaudet speaks with Karin Aviles, Head of Demand Generation and Field Marketing at Centrica Business Solutions, which offers sustainable energy alternatives for businesses. Karin discusses how her team’s lead generation strategies have shifted during COVID-19. You’ll learn: Lead generation without face-to-face events forces companies to explore new ways to reach their target audience. With tighter budgets, marketing teams should look for ways to optimize their ROI through paid media channels. People’s behaviors have drastically changed over the past few months, so it’s important to keep tabs on these trends and follow your customer.
In a time of hyper-personalisation in B2B marketing, is there still a role for mass marketing? Business Marketing Club Chair Dave Stevens takes the views of Brian Macreadie (Head of Marketing at Addleshaw Goddard), Helen Brougham (Marketing Operations Manager at Telefonica O2), and Nic Midegs (Senior Product Marketing Manager at Centrica Business Solutions).Rob Skinner shares a key lesson she took on the journey to being MD of Skout PR.

This week, we present a special episode in collaboration with Centrica Business Solutions and GTM Creative Strategies.For the last decade and a half, we've been hearing about how the internet-of-things would completely reshape how our buildings operate -- and how people operate within them.But while the layer of digital tech in buildings is advancing all the time, the IOT revolution is taking longer to play out than some expected.“In short, a lot of the promise has not been fulfilled,” says Paul Kuehn, a senior sales director for distributed energy at Centrica Business Solutions.“I don't think it's necessarily a measure of the technology at this point. We've gotten past the hype of having the devices. It's the use of the devices and the competency of the operators to be able to figure out how to solve problems with those devices,” explains Kuehn.By next year, there will be 10 billion IOT devices connected to the cloud globally. In another three years, the number will more than double to 22 billion.Billions of those devices -- sensors, intelligent lighting and HVAC systems, control systems -- are being deployed in commercial buildings and industrial facilities. They're making buildings smarter. But are they making the people who run buildings any smarter?We brought Paul Kuehn together with Darren Cooper, the president of Renteknik Group, to answer that question and discuss the state of play for IOT in C&I buildings.This podcast was produced on behalf of Centrica Business Solutions. Centrica is using analytics, market know-how, and distributed technologies to help C&I customers take control of their energy use and improve their environmental performance.
Centrica Business Solutions VP and Head of Sales for North America Kate Sherwood told us about how her firm offers services and technologies – including software, hardware, consulting, and energy procurement, especially focused on DER applications and management and planning for financial risks – for large energy users to help them modernize their operations to best take advantage of the digitalization of the energy world. This is an area of smart grid with big payoffs and she explained details and examples of how her firm delivers these.
This week, we present a special episode on behalf of Centrica Business Solutions.The Green New Deal is now a driving force in climate politics. But up until now, it's been mostly theoretical.And then, in April, Mayor Bill De Blasio declared that New York City is creating its own version of the Green New Deal. As part of the law, large commercial buildings will need to cut emissions by 40 percent by 2030 and 80 percent by 2050 — or face steep fines. After so much theorizing about the Green New Deal, we can finally see what happens when a resolution meets reality. And the impact is not what you might think. Many building upgrades in the city are now stalling because of uncertainty around the law.“No matter who I've spoken to, nobody's disagreeing with the goals. It's the application of how we benchmark. There are clearly buildings that can become vastly more efficient. But this legislation doesn't prize density, it doesn't prize efficiency, for some of our most modern buildings,” explains Paul Kuehn, sales director for distributed energy at Centrica Business Solutions.In this episode, we dive into New York's new building emissions mandate. We'll explore the short-term unintended consequences and the positive long-term impacts for clean energy. What can other cities — and eventually the entire country — learn from its complexities?We'll have a conversation with Paul Kuehn of Centrica Business Solutions and Aaron Miller, a partner at Gotham 360, about how the details may play out. This podcast was produced on behalf of Centrica Business Solutions. Centrica is using analytics, market know-how, and distributed technologies to help C&I customers take control of their energy use and improve their environmental performance.

We present a special episode produced in collaboration with Centrica Business Solutions.In 2006, Kate Sherwood left her job in strategy consulting to work in solar. “I realized what I had been doing wasn't getting me out of bed anymore,” says Sherwood. “So, I took a very big pay cut to move into carrying a bag, into being a salesman.”Selling solar to corporate customers at that time wasn't easy. But C&I solar blossomed as the technology got cheaper, financing got better, and companies got more comfortable.Today, Kate is the vice president and head of sales at Centrica Business Solutions. There, she runs a team that packages all kinds of energy tech for commercial and industrial customers — solar, batteries, combined heat and power, demand response.So much as changed since 2006. There's a new company committing to 100% renewables every week; tech firms and industrial giants are looking to procure gigawatts of wind and solar for their operations; and extreme weather is forcing a lot of companies with critical infrastructure to build on-site generation with a green twist.In this podcast episode, produced in partnership with Centrica Business Solutions, we'll speak to Kate Sherwood about the biggest shifts in commercial energy since she first found her calling in the space."I think corporate energy buyers have gotten more sophisticated. Hats off to the commodity suppliers and even the brokers and aggregators out there who have helped educate large customers on that their energy load, their spend is not just a liability, but also an asset that they can deploy. I think customers today are more sophisticated on average," says Sherwood.Centrica Business Solutions is using analytics, market know-how, and distributed energy tech to help C&I customers take control of their energy use and improve their environmental performance.

In this podcast, we will be answering questions such as: what is it like being an aggregator? What have they learned over the last few years? What does the future hold?
