MCS has appointed David Heath CBE as its independent chair of MCS Standards.
David brings more than 18 years’ experience as a member of parliament, where he served as a successful chair in a variety of government roles, at both national and local level. He was also a member of numerous policy and regulatory boards, including the Privy Council.
Ian Rippin, CEO of MCS, said: “We are delighted to welcome David on board. He brings a wealth of experience and interest in both regulation and high standards in governance, which will work to support our aim to ensure our processes are adhered to and the impartiality of the scheme is protected.
“It is clear that MCS and our Standards Management needed to become more agile and responsive to today’s market conditions, to ensure that we are ready to support ambitious plans for the UK’s small-scale renewable energy sector. By making way for a new Approvals Committee led by David, it will adopt a refreshed model to support a new, nimbler MCS.”
