Toddington Harper

Toddington’s pioneering parents introduced some of the first commercial solar energy and battery storage solutions over 40 years ago, so a career in sustainable energy was never going to be an inappropriate avenue for him to explore. GRIDSERVE was created in September 2017 to deliver that sustainable energy to customers, and its most notable successes include the birth of 100 per cent Electric Forecourts. The first of this series of high-powered EV recharging stations opened in Braintree, Essex in the autumn of 2020, with another site at Norwich welcoming EV drivers in 2022. A total of 100 locations are planned, adding to the motorway service sites that GRIDSERVE operates following its takeover of Ecotricity’s Electric Highway. This network expanded greatly in 2022, with all legacy motorway chargers now replaced.
