Rob Buckland, GRIDSERVE Chief Leasing Officer, said, “Fulham FC may be London’s Original Football Club but it’s well and truly thinking of the future with how it approaches sustainability – and that’s why the club is a perfect fit for us. We hope the partnership will not only help decarbonise the team’s activities off the pitch, but also encourage fans to make the switch, in turn helping us to move the needle on climate change.”
Jon Don-Carolis, Fulham Football Club Commercial Director, added, “The Club has made significant and demonstrable progress towards sustainability in recent years, and we strongly believe that sustainability partnerships are key to delivering change at scale. With their award-winning charging network and commitment to planet friendly energy, we’ve found a partner to be proud of in GRIDSERVE.”
GRIDSERVE, founded in 2017, is owned by Gridserve Holdings Limited. The main objective of the venture is to develop, own and operate infrastructure for sustainable energy production.
Prior to this development, the Fulham-based club also teamed up with SBOTOP and Royal Caribbean International.
