Our Management Team

Lisa has over twenty-five years’ experience working in the electricity and multi-utilities industries. As Managing Director, she holds responsibility for management decisions within the Aptus Utilities directorate and setting company policy and strategy.

She is responsible for the implementation of multi-utility and street lighting installation programmes on all commercial, industrial and residential projects for Aptus Utilities across the UK. Her role demands ensuring works are delivered to specification, timescales, within budget and meeting stringent health and safety standards.

This role requires an analytical and innovative approach, liaising with a wide client base including housebuilders, multinational developers, blue-chip FTSE 100 companies, local authorities and housing associations; internally she works closely with the directorate to formulate and apply working procedures and business strategy to ensure that the Company meets its performance objectives.

Lisa was previously Operations Director at Aptus Utilities and has been instrumental in developing and streamlining processes. She spent four years at Bethell Power Services before that, managing the major projects team where she delivered projects ranging from 11kV underground cable installation to 132kV Overhead and Underground component projects.

Natasha Clarke heads up the support services within the business and her role is to ensure the commercial and operational business arms can operate efficiently by providing all services to support their functions.

Natasha has responsibility for overseeing Procurement and Logistics, which includes negotiations with suppliers, the smooth running of the head office and three additional depots, along with a fleet of over 80 vehicles. She is also responsible for the administration within the business, as well as the IT.

Human Resources also falls under Natasha’s remit and she has assisted in the training and development of a number of key members of staff and has also ensured a number of Business Administration Apprentices have successfully obtained their qualifications.

As Natasha has been at Aptus Utilities almost since the start of the business, she has experienced the exponential business growth and is currently working to develop a bespoke system to assist with streamlining a number of labour-intensive processes within the business.

Natasha started at Aptus Utilities in January 2011, when she joined the team from Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions. She has completed an MBA, whilst at Aptus Utilities, which further enhances her business knowledge.
