In 2006, he co-founded SunRay Renewable Energy, where he was CFO, developing large utility scale solar projects across southern Europe.

From 2013 to 2016 Giles was a founding shareholder and Chairman of Solstice Renewables which developed and sold 100 MWp of ground mounted solar farms in the UK. From 2013 to 2017 Giles was the founder and CEO of Primrose Solar which acquired and built 253 MW of ground mounted solar farms in the UK. The completed projects were sold in 2016 to Bluefield, Greencoat and Equitix. Giles has a BA in PPE from Oxford and an MBA from the London Business School.
The other Directors welcome Giles to the Board and believe his detailed industry experience and knowledge will prove to be a valuable asset as the Company starts a new phase of its life.
