After serving an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering, and with a background in building management systems, Jerry Hamilton embarked on a career in the distribution sector which in latter years has developed within the Rexel Renewable Energy Division, part of the global Rexel Group. The Group, which has a presence in 36 countries, called upon Jerry initially to explore and develop new markets for the UK, and with the emergence of interest in energy efficiency, appointed him as Director for Renewables, to deliver a strategy for the UK & Ireland Zone. Having established the Rexel Renewable Energy Team to support and develop the embryonic market, his focus turned to engaging electrical contractors in the PV sector, to open up business growth opportunities to them. To date, PV installation training has been facilitated for 27% of the MCS customer base, and ongoing technical support, system design, and project management is provided via a team of in-house experts dedicated specifically to renewable products.
