Jason Howlett is CEO of GivEnergy, a UK-based manufacturer of equipment for energy management and renewable energy storage. With a background in environmental science, he has grown the company to nearly 100 employees by combining cost-effective manufacturing in China with premium software development and customer support based in the UK.
Howlett is known among early team members for an approachable, hands-on leadership style, recalled by staff as not acting 'like a director,' which made him easy to talk to as the company scaled quickly through a period of rapid growth in the renewable energy market.
Beyond the business itself, Howlett has directed significant funding toward GivEducation, a not-for-profit partnership with Keele University focused on improving educational outcomes through technology, reflecting his broader emphasis on community investment alongside commercial success.
