Leigh Hitchens

Leigh began his career in energy in 1989 when competition opened in the UK.

Over the next 20 years Leigh worked in business development for commercial energy suppliers such as Eon, Npower and British Gas.

Whilst working for British Gas, Leigh was the contact for public sector energy purchasing which involved liaison with government on policy measures.

Leigh identified that the future focus of the industry was not just about the purchasing of energy but how organisations should reduce their consumption, cost and emissions and therefore founded Coral Energy Limited in 2016 to focus in this area.

Leigh is qualified in several areas of energy and building management including an ESOS Lead Assessor, Domestic and non-domestic EPCs, Air Conditioning inspector and is an ENCo certified Behavioural Change consultant.
