Nusku appoints myenergi founder as first Non-Executive Director

Technology start-up Nusku has appointed Lee Sutton, co-founder of myenergi, as its first Non-Executive Director. 

The appointment is the latest boost for the company, which is developing new heat pump technology to revolutionise how we heat our homes. 

An experienced electronics engineer, Lee has run several successful renewable energy tech companies. In 2016 he co-founded myenergi, an award-winning British designer and manufacturer of eco-smart home energy technologies, including zappi - the world’s first solar-compatible electric vehicle charger. 

Lee said: “I’m really excited by what Nusku is doing and its ambitions to make heat pumps quicker and easier to install.  

“Myenergi began in a similar manner - we identified a problem which needed solving to make homes more eco-friendly and efficient. Eight years later and we’re a global company which has sold over 600,000 devices. I look forward to helping Nusku on its exciting journey.” 

As a Non-Executive Director, Lee will offer strategic guidance and support to the leadership team of Russell Murchie, Matthew Whitefoot and Andy Mckay, who founded Nusku in 2022 with a mission to make heat pumps more appealing to homeowners. 

Russell, CEO of Nusku, said: “We’re really pleased to have Lee on board as a Non-Executive Director. His knowledge and experience of the renewable energy sector, as well as his technical expertise, will be invaluable as Nusku continues to grow at pace.” 

The Bristol-based start-up has raised almost £1 million of investment to-date, including a grant of more than £727,000 from the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ). 

The Nusku heating system will be cheaper and quicker to install than existing heat pumps on the market – taking a few days rather than over a week. This will specifically appeal to homeowners whose existing gas boiler has broken and they want a hassle-free and environmentally friendly replacement.
