David Stern, one of the original ‘Gang of Three’, retires from Connected Response

Today was a momentous day for our partners Connected Response with the retirement of David Stern. David was part of the ‘Gang of Three’ from day one in early 2019 alongside co-founders, Martin Ade-Hall (Technical Director) and Kenny Cameron (Managing Director).

Connected Response was founded on the basis that households with storage heating deserved better tariffs with wider charging windows, contributing to improved comfort, reduced consumption, and lower bills. The three founders put their expertise and determination to the test and developed the award winning HeatSage technology, which can be used to make traditional storage heaters work more efficiently and help reduce electricity consumption.

Since August 2021 HeatSage controls have been installed in over 15,000 homes, including over 100 tower blocks, with David providing engagement support, leadership and expertise on projects across the UK. Connected Response was acquired by Warmworks in 2021.

David’s retirement plans include catching up with family, travelling, and playing a little more golf. All of these pleasures are richly deserved after the contribution he has made to improving the lives of some of the most disadvantaged fuel-poor energy consumers.

On his final day at work David was presented with a panoramic view of Glasgow, with smaller images of all the towers that David has worked on over the years, and some wonderful gifts from colleagues and friends including a 4-ball at Pitlochry Golf Club and a bottle of 14-year-old Glenfiddich malt whisky.

From all of us here at Warmworks, enjoy your retirement, David!
