Richard Holdsworth

Sales & Marketing Manager

Tennis champion, Rugby International, England's greatest all round cricketer. So goes the dream! Instead, for the last 30 years I've enjoyed working with some of the UK's best-known companies in customer facing roles. I lived in New Zealand for 10 years where I met my Irish wife, who has given me 2 beautiful (and challenging) children. Every day starts with 2 strong coffees and ends with a peppermint tea. In between, anything can happen!

Hayley Kelly

Business Generation Manager

I joined Trident as the New Business Generation Manager in 2020 looking after the Sales team, driving them to achieve company targets (hopefully!). Outside of work, I have recently started learning about photography and also really enjoy combining travel with going to gigs & festivals. Something people would not know about me, is that I have been to Buckingham Palace and had afternoon tea with the Queen.

Barry Taylor

Development & Implementation Manager

I’ve been at Trident for 10 years and in the industry for more than 20. As a Development & Implementation Manager, I work with clients to identify measures that deliver improvements in the management of energy cost, control and compliance. Outside the office I’m a keen musician and love soul, jazz, and rhythm and blues. On a sunny weekend you’ll often find me at my local cricket club watching a game.

Siobhana Connolly

Marketing

At Trident I work on the marketing and graphics. I graduated in graphic design and this is my first role after graduating. I love a good tv series, I’d say my all-time favourite is pretty little liars. On the weekends I really enjoy going out having a few drinks and a boogie with my friends. Also, on Wednesdays I wear pink lol.

Shona Ashford

Business Development Executive

Here at Trident I have the integral role of Business Development Executive, which brings potential new business and exciting opportunities to our Sales Team. I love going on holiday with my son, where we run around the water park like kids. I also like going for meals, cocktails and weekends away with my friends and something not a lot of people know about me is that I was a child model.

Noah Nelson

Business Development Manager

I am a Business Development Manager here at Trident, supporting businesses across the UK with all areas of energy management. My favourite book is The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas. My favourite pastime on the weekends is exploring National Trust properties with my wife and two daughters. My favourite sports teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers (proper football) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (baseball, which is far superior to cricket). I think Carl Jung is an inspiring character because I feel he had an incredible mind and was a great thinker. I enjoy digging deep into a subject each year that interests me. I like to research everything about the topic that I can get my hands on and then share what I have learned with those around me. The current topic of interest is ancient Egypt, because it fascinates me how they viewed life and integrated their belief system.

Nicola Sorah

Business Development Executive

I joined the Trident business generation team after working in sales roles since 2004, before this I worked in Greece for six years as an entertainer in family hotels. I love a good sing song and I drive the team mad singing all day long. I love spending time with my son and Labrador Sam and like to spend my spare time going out for nice meals with family and friends and to get away as much as I can.

Simon Howarth

Business Development Executive

I am a Business Development Executive for Trident, my role is to support organisations navigate the sometimes complex and challenging world of commercial energy. Outside of work I enjoy exploring with my dog, unless it's raining in which case I can explore on my own. Beyond that I enjoy watching movies and TV box-sets, be it Star Trek or Star Wars and occasionally a good book. For anyone interested in Formula 1 and life lessons in general I would highly recommend Sir Frank Williams autobiography.
