Entrepreneur Jordan Brompton steps down as chief marketing officer of hi-tec firm myenergi

                                                                        

No longer an executive director at the firm she co-founded - Jordan Brompton 

THE co-founder of Stallingborough firm myenergi has stepped down as chief marketing director.

After eight years at the helm of one of Britain's fastest growing tec businesses, Jordan Brompton says she wants to "enjoy some rest and family time before pursuing her next adventure".

But she insists she will remain a shareholder, board member and advisor of the firm which is best known for its manufacture and supply of solar-powered charging devices for electrical vehicles.

From modest beginnings, myenergi - a sponsor of Grimsby Town FC - now enjoys both domestic and international sales and has a turnover of £50-million-plus. 

Much of the credit for this was thanks to the fizz with which which the entrepreneur promoted  the firm's products.

However, last year proved difficult, and it made a substantial loss.

Ms Brompton's decision means that co-founder and pal Lee Sutton now assumes total reins of the firm.

In her statement, she says: "We met and built one of the best teams in our industry, and I’ve made friends for life from far and wide on this crazy ride. 

"We proved you can have success with British manufacturing and do it profitably. 

"We’ve given hundreds of thousands back to the Grimsby-area community and created real career opportunities for people."

She continues: "We smashed through barriers - we've laughed and  we’ve cried.

"The highs have been extremely high the lows have been the lowest! But what a ride! What an experience." 

Ms Brompton - known as Jordee to her friends - is also a director of  other companies including Hexham-based Mat Zero Heat Ltd whose heat mats have a special value in disaster relief and refugee emergencies.
