Fuel supplier Certa, which is part of DCC, has appointed Orla Stevens as its new Managing Director.
She succeeds Andrew Graham who has been appointed as Managing Director of Mobility at DCC Energy.
Ms Stevens was Certa's Commercial Director and previously held senior positions at SSE Airtricity, Bank of Ireland, Vodafone, O2 and Car Trawler.
Certa has a network of 49 unmanned, pay@pump forecourts and 29 home heating depots. Its pay@pump forecourt network is the largest of its kind in Ireland.
It was formed in September 2022 when Emo Oil, Campus Oil and Jones Oil, all owned by DCC plc, rebranded under one name.
Headquartered in Portlaoise, the company employs 370 people nationwide.
Certa became the first fuel operator in Ireland last year to open a Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel station and to make the renewable alternative to diesel more widely available to motorists. It is currently upgrading its forecourt network to offer HVO at all sites alongside other fuels.
Orla Stevens said that Certa's vision is to become Ireland's most exciting energy company.
"I'm delighted to be appointed Managing Director and to lead the company as we continue to work together to connect people and businesses to the most progressive energy solutions available," she said.
"Certa are leaders in delivering HVO and solar solutions and I look forward to leveraging our relationship with other companies within the wider DCC Group, such as Flogas, to extend our customer offering to also include BioCNG which is a renewable form of natural gas made from organic waste," she added.
