Clean technology company Verditek named former RECOM Solar director Laura Azpilicueta as its new chief sales officer on Wednesday.

Azpilicueta said: "The CSO position at Verditek offers me a great opportunity to assemble a team of sales professionals and deliver value to our shareholders. I am excited by the prospect of using my experience and network to build a sales pipeline"

Chief executive Geoff Nesbitt added: "Together with the operations team in Lainate I am confident we have the professionals in place to deliver our premium product to market."
