Jo works for Eco2 Ltd, the company that originally developed the Sleaford REP. Eco2 now has management responsibility for the plant’s operation (on behalf of Greencoat Capital – the owners of Sleaford REP) as well as continuing to manage the plant’s biomass fuel supply – primarily straw and woodchip – which it has done since the plant started operation in 2014.

Greg Atebe, who has been working at the plant since 2017, remains as assistant general manager.
