Newly created role will bring together specialist energy, workplace technology and data-led services to deliver stronger customer outcomes.
Arcus has appointed Catherine Wheatley as Director of Energy Performance & Smart Workplaces, a newly created role leading the business’s new Energy and Workplace Services division. Her appointment strengthens Arcus’ ability to bring energy, workplace technology and data-led services into a fully integrated customer offer.
A mechanical engineer with two decades of experience, Catherine has led energy performance contracts and building energy management system programmes across complex estates.
