Mott MacDonald, the leading global management, engineering and development consultancy, has expanded its power and renewables team across Europe.

Five key senior appointments are at the forefront of this expansion, which will add industry knowledge and experience to its renewables, utility planning and regulatory practices services.

Mike McWilliams and Andy Pearce have joined the consultancy's Brighton office. Mike, entering the Group at director level, is an influential figure in the international hydropower sector and will lead the consultancy's highly successful hydropower business which has been going strong for over 100 years. He has a vast knowledge of the hydro sector and most recently led the international hydropower business of Scott Wilson for more than 10 years. Meanwhile Andy, a highly experienced electricity industry advisor, will help expand the consultancy's generation planning, integrated transmission and generation master-planning businesses.

Alan Lowdon joins the firm's Glasgow office as director responsible for renewable technologies, which includes onshore and offshore wind, solar PV and solar thermal, biogas as well as biomass and biofuels. Alan has extensive experience of EU programmes, venture capital and working with equipment vendors and technology companies. He will broaden the consultancy's renewables business worldwide and help to further accelerate business growth. He will be joined in Scotland by Rosalind Carey, a principle consultant who will assist with growing Mott MacDonald's energy utility markets and regulatory practice portfolio of assignments.

Mott MacDonald has also expanded its renewables practice into France, with the appointment of Matthias Vinard. Matthias will provide key experience in business development as well as technical skills to the renewables team, particularly in relation to wind energy. He will be based in Paris and will be at the forefront of renewable projects in France and French speaking countries.

Simon Harrison, director of power at Mott MacDonald said of the appointments: "We are thrilled and excited to appoint these five experts to our growing power and renewables practices. I am sure they will further our credibility in the industry and all make a substantial difference to our business."
