Our people
Originally established by six engineers from the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales, Dulas has grown consistently over the years as demand for renewable energy technologies has increased.
As an employee-owned business and co-operative, the company has opted for organic, planned growth rather than a rapid, step-change expansion. Dulas now has over 50 employees in three locations: Machynlleth in Wales, and Stirling and Inverness in Scotland. Our solar refrigerator manufacturing facility, Polestar Cooling, is located in West Sussex. Our staff come from a wide range of backgrounds and cover a broad range of disciplines.
From specialist technicians and engineers to microgeneration installers and renewable energy service developers, Dulas has the expertise that you need to take your project to fruition.
Ruth has led the company through significant change, successfully refocusing Dulas’s renewables services and expanding the international vaccine refrigeration operations. Ruth has worked in a variety of roles at Dulas, and has several years of experience across sales and consultancy at all levels. Ruth became Dulas’s Interim Managing Director in 2018, and has been the Executive Managing Director since July 2021.
Catherine has worked for Dulas in the Solar International team since 2009 and in that time has built up a network of trusted in-country partners across the globe. Managing a successful sales and marketing programme for the cold chain business within Dulas, she is responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with key clients including international UN organisations and NGOs. Catherine is an excellent communicator and very passionate about her role, which includes extensive travel worldwide as an ambassador for Dulas.
As a long-serving Director of Dulas, Rachel has a depth of practical knowledge that enables her to oversee the most complex and ground-breaking projects. A Prince II qualified strategic problem solver, Rachel leads Dulas’s Wind Monitoring team and has a rigorous approach to Health and Safety, while remaining agile to industry or project changes.
