July 4th, 2022 is etched into my heart. It was the day we launched the Home Series chargers, but it didn’t happen from an office or stage. It happened beside my 8-year-old daughter Mae’s hospital bed at Bristol Children’s Hospital, as she fought through a brain bleed and stroke. She was incredibly unwell, and nothing else in the world felt certain, except the need to keep moving forward.
In the three years since, Mae has recovered in ways that still leave me speechless. As she’s relearnt how to eat, talk, walk, run and built up her strength, the same has happened with the products S&P have built.
I'm really proud of the fact that thousands of S&P customers now power their lives with the Home Series Chargers. In my mind, each installation quietly reflects a story of resilience, love and belief becuase S&P could have easily been stopped in it's tracks.
Today, exactly three years on, Mae is finishing her first year of high school, Simpson & Partners turn the page to a new chapter and celebration with the release of the Home Series V3.
Three years ago, we set out with a clear ambition, to build not just an EV charger, but the best EV charging experience possible. It wasn’t always easy. We faced challenges, poured ourselves into the details, and stayed true to what we believed mattered, safety, honesty and craftsmanship.
Some competitors have innovated. Some have imitated. But we’ve stayed focused, driven by purpose, not pace.
I'm really chuffed at what the business has achieved in the last 3 years. To me, this Version 3 represents not just a generic update. It represents everything we've learnt- built in; V3 is safer, smarter, beautifully engineered and in for the long haul.
