Our Team
Matt Wilby
Founder and Managing Director
Chartered Environmentalist, MSc(Hons), MIEMA
Driven by a deep commitment to sustainability and community empowerment, I founded Power Marsden to help my village take charge of its energy future. With a background in climate change assessments and renewable energy integration, I bring a wealth of expertise and a passion for creating practical, people-focused solutions to today’s environmental challenges.
Under our stewardship, I hope Power Marsden will become a beacon of innovation, resilience, and unity, setting a powerful example of how local action can drive global change. My vision is clear: to transform Marsden into a self-sufficient, energy-smart community, championing renewable solutions while celebrating the village’s unique heritage.

Liam Bedford
Legal Director

As Power Marsden continues to drive forward, ensuring a solid legal foundation is just as crucial as the technical and financial aspects. That’s where will play a key role.
With a strong background in litigation, in high-profile cases, Liam is an expert in representing local authorities and tackling complex legal challenges in the High Court. Liam’s expertise extends to foreseeability of risks—a vital consideration for industries navigating the shift to clean energy and sustainable infrastructure. His strategic approach to risk management, regulation, and policy makes him an invaluable voice in shaping legal frameworks that protect both people and the planet.
At Power Marsden, we believe in innovation, resilience, and community empowerment—values that align with Liam’s legal acumen and dedication. Whether it’s helping local authorities mitigate legal risks or shaping policy around environmental sustainability, professionals like Liam are vital in ensuring a secure, compliant, and forward-thinking approach to energy transition.
