Hydrogen refuelling network developer Element 2 has announced the appointments of hydrogen transport heavyweight, Mark Teevan, and sustainability specialist, Holly Makin, to its business development team. Both will report to Element 2’s chief development officer, Dr Andrew Hagan.
Teevan is taking up a part-time role and will be responsible for driving business development in Ireland. His appointment follows the EU Parliament’s recent decision to set targets for hydrogen refuelling stations to be accessible every 100 kilometres in Member States by 2028.
Teevan previously held several senior management and board-level positions at Toyota Ireland. During his tenure at Toyota Ireland, he led the formation of Hydrogen Mobility Ireland, an organisation dedicated to paving the way for the introduction of hydrogen-powered transport in Ireland through engaging with business, government and academic stakeholders. He was the founding chair of the organisation in 2019.
Hagan said “Element 2 will be the largest hydrogen refuelling business in Ireland. Mark’s knowledge of the Irish market, strong expertise in the transport sector, and C-suite experience will be instrumental in delivering our growth plans for Ireland.”
In addition, Holly Makin has joined Element 2 to lead business development in Wales, as well as support the business development team in the rest of the UK.
Makin was previously project manager at NewYorker where she managed marketing projects and media executive at a London-based media agency. She has an academic background in sustainable development and holds an MSc Environment and Sustainable Development from the University of Glasgow.
She said: “I’m looking forward to applying my knowledge and passion for sustainable development to expanding the hydrogen refuelling network in Wales. Joining the Element 2 team is the perfect opportunity to play a part in the transition of the country’s road transport to clean energy.”
