Matt Croucher is the Chief Commercial Officer at Believ, a fast-growing UK charge point operator part owned by Liberty Global (the owners of Virgin Media/O2) and the Treasury, and on a mission to ensure everyone has access to convenient EV charge points and can make the switch away from internal combustion engine vehicles, including those without access to off-street parking. Prior to joining Believ Matt was the Zero Emission Mobility lead at WSP, one the world's leading planning and engineering consultancies. His experience in the EV sector stretches back thirteen years to 2009, working on a wide range of projects with public and private sector clients. Matt's route into EV's was as a transport planning consultant, and previously with a broader sustainable transport remit as WSP’s Sustainable Transport Lead, before going on to specialise in EVs as the sector has matured. He has nearly 20 years' experience as a transport planner, working closely with Local Authorities across the UK. He has been fortunate to work across a wide range of sustainable transport solutions, including active travel, behaviour change and travel demand management, public transport and car clubs, as well as on roadspace reallocation and air quality related schemes.
