David Martell, CEO of Chargemaster, said: “As our business continues to experience major growth in the UK, we want to ensure our customers in the North of England receive the best possible service and therefore have formed a dedicated business unit - Chargemaster North. We are thrilled that Alexandra will be joining us to head up our new business and bringing with her an expansive set of skills and experience.”
