Juergen Maier is stepping down from his position as CEO of Siemens UK, effective on 1st January 2020.


Mr Maier, who has been with the company for 33 years, said yesterday he was retiring to improve his work-life balance.

He said in a blog post on LinkedIn: “The reason to retire now is purely a matter of life balance... Early retirement feels right at this point, to re-charge my energy to then take on some exciting new opportunities to support UK industry.”

Carl Ennis

Carl Ennis, currently UK & Ireland head of Products & Systems Sales for Siemens Smart Infrastructure, has been appointed his replacement.

Mr Ennis has worked for Siemens in the UK and China for the last 20 years and has held roles including managing director of the Power & Gas business, Power Generation and Energy Management.

During Juergen’s tenure as UK CEO at Siemens, the company made significant investments including £80 million to build the wind turbine blade factory in Hull which opened in 2016, creating 1,000 jobs, and the latest £200m investment to build a train facility in Goole, which will create 700 jobs.

Cedrik Neike, Managing Board Member Siemens, said: “Juergen has made a significant contribution to Siemens globally and in the UK. His engagement in the UK manufacturing, engineering and technology arena has supported both Siemens and industry in general. He is a role model as a leader in terms of engaging in our employees and driving the diversity and inclusion agenda, which is close to our hearts. We wish him well with his future endeavours.

“We look forward to the appointment of Carl, a passionate engineer, who is looking to continue to build on the strong foundations of Siemens in the UK & Ireland.”
