"The largely untapped North American energy efficiency market has the potential to grow well beyond our European and Australian groups which today serve over 6,000 customers each week," said Jeff Bartos, Mark Group CEO.  "We're pleased to welcome Jeff to the Mark Group team.  He brings a wealth of expertise to address the unique challenges of the North American marketplace and will continue to grow our residential, commercial and utility groups."

Jeff Bladen brings more than 15 years experience in the energy sector developing and executing integrated growth strategies for start-ups and Fortune 500s, shaping government policy, and developing market opportunities for smart grid and renewable energy technologies.  He helped build New Energy Ventures into the most successful competitive retail electricity business in North America; now Constellation New Energy.  Prior to joining Mark Group, Bladen served as VP of Regulatory, Markets and Government Affairs at Comverge Inc.

"It's a long time coming for homeowners to see the attention paid to their needs that commercial and industrial customers have seen for years," said Bladen.  "Mark Group's unique product mix allows us to build scale in an often ignored segment of the industry."

Since launching US operations in November 2010, Mark Group has been awarded a $1.7M contract with Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW), secured a partnership with Prudential Fox & Roach REALTORS as their exclusive provider of energy efficiency improvements for buyers and sellers, and contracted with numerous companies on its Greening Your Workforce™ employee benefit program.  Mark Group offers a broad portfolio of energy efficiency services including energy assessments, air-sealing, insulation, and Low-E storm or replacement windows.
