​Barry Collins

Group Director

With a background in heavily regulated industries like energy, waste, and recycling, I transitioned into the green energy sector to align my engineering career with social and environmental goals. Passionate about innovation, I’m particularly excited by technologies like Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES), which offers sustainable energy storage alternatives. My engineering journey began on a farm and evolved through an apprenticeship with British Steel, culminating in a degree in Electrical Power & Instrumentation Systems. Now based in South Wales, I aim to contribute to the region’s sustainable energy future while enjoying countryside life, clay shooting, golf, and rugby.
