Meet the Bright Sparks.

Mark founded Bright Spark Energy in 2011 following ten years working within construction and consultancy.

He leads the business with a focus on technically sound renewable energy projects, straightforward advice and developing long-term relationships with customers.

Mark remains closely involved in project development, particularly larger commercial, education, public-sector and complex residential projects.

Outside Bright Spark: Family life, coaching rugby and the outdoors — and currently learning to sail with the long-term ambition of sailing around the world.

Neil brings more than three decades of electrical experience to Bright Spark, having qualified as an electrician in 1991.

Before joining the team, Neil spent 26 years running his own NICEIC Approved Contractor business.

He oversees electrical standards, technical compliance, certification and quality across our installations, helping ensure every project is completed properly and safely.

Outside Bright Spark: Neil keeps fit with regular running and trips to the gym, and has recently taken up origami and paper cutting.

Ann joined Bright Spark in 2023, bringing extensive senior-level experience from the construction industry across finance, HR, project management and business operations.

She is responsible for the financial and people functions of the business and has played an important role in strengthening our internal processes and supporting Bright Spark’s continued development and growth.

Outside Bright Spark: Ann enjoys walking, Marimba dancing, cooking and reading. She is an active member of her local Film Society and enjoys most sports — although these days mainly as a spectator.

Nicole has been part of the Bright Spark journey since the business began in 2011 — or, as she puts it, “married to Bright Spark” for almost as long.

Following an earlier career in the City in the stock market and recently qualified as a Business Analyst, Nicole supports the continued development of Bright Spark as the business grows. A key part of her role is helping us expand our services and capabilities while making sure we retain the family values, personal service and long-term customer relationships the business was built on.

Outside Bright Spark: Nicole is a qualified Pilates teacher and enjoys gardening and CrossFit — as well as herding three-and-a-half children around most days and attempting to keep the Stevenson household organised.

Charlie joined Bright Spark in spring 2026, bringing experience from a wide range of sectors and a fresh perspective to our operations team.

She keeps our projects and people moving — making sure we’re in the right place, at the right time, with the right kit. Always smiling and focused on finding solutions, Charlie is also championing the continual improvement of our customer journey, helping make every interaction with Bright Spark simpler, clearer and better.

Outside Bright Spark: Charlie has a love of horses and Aussie Rules Football. She’s regularly out riding her horse first thing in the morning before starting the working day.

Anton has been an electrician for nearly 20 years, bringing a wealth of practical experience in electrical installation, project delivery and site leadership to Bright Spark.

As well as delivering projects, Anton plays an important role in supporting and mentoring the next generation of electricians, sharing his experience and helping maintain high standards across our installation teams.

Outside Bright Spark: Anton’s main hobby is German dessert wine and Gallic cheeses and can be found every holiday cruising on the Danube. He is preparing for his upcoming wedding, enjoys spending time with his son and trains in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ).

Ben is a newly qualified electrician who has developed his career with Bright Spark, gaining extensive hands-on experience across electrical and renewable energy installations.

Having successfully completed his apprenticeship, Ben is now taking responsibility for leading installation teams on site and is developing into a technical authority across a range of our key product sets and technologies. He continues to build his technical knowledge and experience across solar PV, battery storage and emerging renewable technologies.

Outside Bright Spark: Ben is passionate about sport, both playing and watching, and volunteers each week with the Scout group he attended when he was younger.

Taylor recently joined Bright Spark as a Solar PV Engineer, bringing five years of construction experience and a strong practical background to the team. Taylor is already leading roofing projects for us.

He is developing his skills across different roofing systems and solar PV installation techniques, while working alongside our electricians to build his knowledge of the electrical side of renewable energy installations. Taylor brings a massively positive attitude, a strong work ethic and a willingness to simply get stuck in and get things done.

Zoe is starting her electrical career with Bright Spark and has already made a big impression with her positive attitude, practical ability and willingness to learn.

Coming from a background as a chef, Zoe is quickly building her knowledge and experience across electrical installation and renewable energy. A natural working on the roof and a real sponge for knowledge, she already holds the Bright Spark record for the most internal training courses completed — a great reflection of her enthusiasm to develop.

Outside Bright Spark: Zoe enjoys bouldering and cooking — although these days she’s as comfortable on a roof as she is in a kitchen.

Caspar holds the important position of Chief Morale Officer at Bright Spark. His exact contribution to the day-to-day running of the business remains difficult to quantify, but we’re assured that it’s significant.

Usually looking slightly bemused by whatever is going on around him, Caspar spends much of the working day sleeping, looking for food or positioning himself somewhere inconvenient. Meetings are occasionally attended, although his contribution tends to be limited unless catering is involved.

Despite being slightly useless, permanently hungry and having absolutely no technical knowledge of renewable energy, Caspar does occasionally add value — mainly by reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously.

As a family business, we think there’s room for professionalism, high standards and a bit of personality too. Caspar definitely provides the latter.

Outside Bright Spark: Sleeping, eating, looking for somewhere else to sleep and wondering when he’s next being fed.
