Anthony Boyd

My role focuses on concession based and long term partnership models, working closely with councils, combined authorities, transport bodies, and government stakeholders to design commercially viable, inclusive, and future proof charging networks. This includes supporting EVIF / LEVI funded programmes, asset migration strategies, and new market entry approaches where legacy infrastructure, funding constraints, or complex governance structures exist. I work across the full project lifecycle, from early market engagement and strategy development through competitive procurement, contract negotiation, mobilisation, and delivery oversight. This involves close collaboration with internal design, delivery, finance, legal, and ESG teams, as well as external partners including network operators, DNOs, and technology providers. Key areas of focus include concession structuring, risk allocation, KPI design, social value integration, accessible charging compliance, and long term network performance. I regularly support elected members and senior officers with decision making by translating policy, funding, and technical considerations into clear commercial and delivery outcomes. Alongside live projects, I represent Believ at industry events and stakeholder forums, contributing to wider conversations on EV infrastructure policy, local authority delivery models, and the transition to net zero transport.

Through FOR EV, I’ve worked with fleet operators, local authorities, landlords and private organisations to demystify EV adoption, charging infrastructure, and total cost of ownership. The focus has been on practical delivery rather than theory, supporting clients to move from high-level ambition to informed action. Key areas of experience include: - Fleet electrification strategy and EV cost comparison modelling - Public and workplace charging requirements assessment - Charger type selection (AC vs DC), utilisation forecasting and phasing - Policy, funding and incentive landscape interpretation - Translating technical EV considerations into clear, decision-ready insights for senior stakeholders FOR EV has also acted as a testing ground for data-driven tools and frameworks now widely used in my public-sector work, including EV TCO comparison models, market and vehicle benchmarking, and early-stage feasibility analysis.

As an Area Sales Manager, I have developed and maintained sales strategies that have driven growth in my region. I have a proven track record of building and maintaining strong relationships with customers and I am highly skilled at identifying new business opportunities. On top of this my responsibilities included: - Cultivating and maintain relationships with existing direct and indirect on-trade customers, ensuring their needs are met and expectations exceeded. - Identify and generate new business opportunities through proactive outreach, networking, and strategic targeting. - Regular cold calling and 'door knocking' in order to continue building my sales pipeline and expanding my network

I started as trainee at the Salford Bury New Road branch at Enterprise and quickly moved up the ranks and got promoted to Assistant Manager at Manchester City Centre in a year. After 4 straight months of 20%+ growth I moved to the Salford Quays in February 2020. We had a great start before COVID hit. However following a return to relative normality in September we went on to become the only branch to hit corporate goals in North West in November 2020 and had 3 months in a row on the 'Champs Table' as one of the top performing branches in the NW. Having managed the daily operations for Manchester City Centre and Salford Quays Enterprise branches I have now moved up to Edinburgh for family reasons, taking a demotion to do so. I got promoted again within 2 months. As manager I managed the biggest fleet of vehicles in Scotland and have had 4 consecutive months of record growth going all the way back to FY17-Current. Main responsibilities include driving sales performance in the branch, fleet management and overall, customer service.

My 'first job'. I started here when I was 16 as a admin assistant. I quickly got into the debt collection side of the business and then, after enjoying the client side of the business, I got into Client Relationship Management. I was exposed to a host of different aspects to the business that led to me doing telephone debt collection, general admin, prospecting clients and public speaking at events. A relative 'baptism of fire' that has stood me in good stead to this day.

This was a multifaceted role with ValueOils.com with responsibilities ranging from Social Media management to SEO. Having graduated with a degree in PR this was my first and so-far only venture into the marketing realm. I gained a fantastic amount of experience in b2b sales, marketing and customer service.

Overseeing social media development for a young, growing online bike retailer.

Working for Schuh was an eye-opening experience which helped me garner an appreciation for work done behind the scenes in the company and the emphasis placed on relationship marketing which is at the forefront of the store and the organisation.

While working for Rumour Mill PR I gained experience in drafting press releases; writing for a newsletter and doing research. It was extremely valuable for my personal development in understanding the PR environment and how to implement my theoretical skills.
