Catto will join RES in May as deputy CEO and will be based at RES’ headquarters in Kings Langley. He will assume the role of CEO on 1 November 2016.

Dr Mays will remain involved with the business as a non-executive director of the supervisory board which oversees the activities of all the McAlpine Family businesses of which RES forms a part.

“Both technically and commercially, RES is one of the world’s most significant renewable energy businesses and I am excited about the opportunity to be passed the baton from Ian to lead its continuing growth and development. I would like to thank Ian for his support and I look forward to learning more from him over the next few months,” Catto said.
