Energy management consultancy Greenfields Energy Group has hit the £1m revenue figure – 18 months after launching.
Greenfields is six months ahead of the schedule set by founders Liam Conway and Rich Clark after winning a string of new clients from the manufacturing, retail, hospitality and education sectors.
Just this week, the firm – which has offices Swadlincote – confirmed the hire of Kim Haddock as Account Director, following in the footsteps last year of Neil Freeman and Lindsay Williams, the latter joining as Head of Energy Bureau.
“Businesses are facing cost challenges on every front and are keen to explore how they can make their operations more efficient, gain a bit of certainty in the market and reduce costs if that’s possible,” explained Liam, who has worked in the sector for fifteen years.
“Uncertainty and bad deals have left management teams looking for a trusted consultant, who can be a constant source of advice, reassurance and insight. They don’t want someone to speak to them once, fix a deal and then go silent on them until it’s time to sign a new contract.” He continued: “And that’s where we come in.”
In another milestone, the business has just signed up its 100th company.
Liam concluded: “18 months after launching and we’re looking after £130m of utilities spend, which shows the faith and trust our clients have in us.
“With the plans we’ve got in place and the further recruitment of another two people, I think we could easily grow by a further 50% by the end of 2025.”
