Nottingham-based management consultancy BFY Group has named Hannah Sword as Partner. She will continue to work alongside the Leadership Team in driving the firm’s strategic direction and growth.
Hannah first joined BFY Group in 2021 and steps up to Partner from her role as Director. Her promotion comes as energy suppliers look for new ways to grow in a more competitive market, with customers increasingly looking beyond supply to new energy solutions.
25 years leading sales, commercial and operations teams
Hannah brings 25 years’ experience in energy retail, including senior leadership roles across sales, commercial and operations at E.ON and Centrica. Her career includes launching new energy solutions and business models to market. At BFY, she leads complex transformation programmes that help clients improve commercial performance, strengthen operations and bring new propositions to market.
Ian Barker, Managing Partner at BFY Group, commented:
“Hannah’s move to Partner reflects the value she delivers for our clients and the drive she brings to growing BFY. Having run sales, commercial and operational teams at scale and launched new solutions and business models, Hannah knows the pressures our clients face from the inside. As suppliers look for growth in a tougher market, her focus on commercial outcomes makes her a natural leader for our next phase.”
Helping clients grow and perform
As Partner, Hannah will continue to lead strategic client relationships and engagements across Sales and Commercial, Operations, Metering and B2B Energy Solutions.
Hannah Sword added:
“I’m proud to take on the role of Partner at BFY and look forward to working with the Leadership Team and our wider team on our next stage of growth. There are real opportunities for our clients to grow too, and I want BFY to keep delivering work that makes a measurable difference for them and for their customers.”
