We are delighted to announce that Ling has joined Viritech as a NED. Ling brings a wealth of knowledge and contacts across the equity capital markets which will help Viritech to grow its access to Impact Investors. She also adds the authority of being a recognised expert in the critically important field of ESG, adherence to which is now vital to every company’s credibility.   

Having known Ling for some time as a result of her knowledgeable publications on the hydrogen sector, I have been keen to recruit her to our Board, and the launch of WesterHayes, Ling’s new Impact Advisory consultancy, finally opened to door to this opportunity, and I am very much looking forward to working closely with Ling in the future.

I am delighted to be joining Viritech as a NED. Having got to know Viritech over the last six months, I am enormously impressed by the team, their technology, and the impact the company has had in terms of accelerating the development of hydrogen powertrain technology in the past 3-years.

By establishing itself as a technology leader in the hydrogen powertrain sector, Viritech is playing a vital role in the critically important decarbonisation of transport, and I am excited to be able to contribute to delivering Viritech’s pioneering technology and exciting business plan.
