National energy efficiency solutions company Anesco has appointed Nick Painter as sales manager, working across its ESCO and biomass services.

In his new role, Mr Painter will be responsible for developing and growing Anesco’s client base within the ESCO and biomass sector. He will be building long-term relationships with customers across a range of industries, including manufacturing, the public sector and the NHS.

“I’m delighted to join the team at Anesco. It is a forward-thinking company, with fresh ideas and a significant depth of knowledge, making it well placed to drive the expanding ESCO and biomass markets.
