CLM had the privilege of attending the EV World Congress held in London in October 2022, with the aim to inspire, educate and connect those within the industry.

The EV sector is exploding, with an estimated 16 million EVs now on the road globally -but the challenge of deploying infrastructure for those vehicles, and more importantly, providing the roughly 30 terawatthours (TWh) of electricity per year to charge them are major challenges to be addressed.

The EV Congress included 120 leading organisations and technology/service providers who shared best practice case studies and discussions. With over 400 attendees and 100 speakers, the event enabled Fleet owners, Local Authorities, Car park owners, Property Developers, Transport Authorities and Institutional Investors to mix with industry leaders and ask the really important questions which impact their own business priorities.

CLM is delighted to learn they are a finalist in ‘The DiversitEV Award’ category, sponsored by ElectrAssure at the upcoming EVIE Awards next month!

Making a return for its 3rd year, The EVIE’s (hosted on the first evening of the EV World Congress) is making its debut in the capital.

The Awards are designed to shine a light on innovation and excellence in the emerging EV sector.

In one of the world’s most hotly anticipated changes to the way we live, work and travel, innovation and collaboration will be essential to make our roads smarter and safer, and our air cleaner.

CLM is proud to be part of this tremendous occasion recognising the industry leaders making impactful and positive change.

2022 has brought much to celebrate at CLM and turning 8 this month has been another wonderful milestone. CLM has grown by a third since 2020 and this year alone, we have already welcomed 4 new members to the team with another new starter joining us in October.

The last 12 months has seen director, Laura Wilson awarded ‘Businessperson of the Year’ at the Mercury Business Awards, as well as CLM being named finalists as ‘Team of the Year’ and ‘Business Innovation’ at this year’s upcoming awards. We are delighted that CLM’s expertise has been recognised, with director Laura Wilson being asked to advise on the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS)’s land rights review, as well as her role on the SSE expert panel.

The team, made up of project, CAD, administrative and marketing departments, are proud to have worked on some of the most prestigious and valuable sites in the UK including Northampton Gateway and Brentford Football Club’s training ground as well as some of the largest commercial, industrial and new residential developments in the UK.

It is no wonder that CLM is such a desirable place to work. Passionate about investing in people, we have introduced an abundance of wellbeing initiatives such as: a Golden Ticket, meaning each team member has an extra day away from the office to celebrate their birthday in style, a fully subsidised gym membership and the option to enjoy the 4-Day week initiative.

Enjoying a pizza and movie night in the Bull & Swan’s herb garden to mark our special day, has also been a great opportunity for the team to catch up with each other away from the office!
