BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
One of the UK’s Most Established Renewable Energy Companies
Manufacturing in the UK since 1978
Ref. GJ035
Location : Northamptonshire
Asking Price : £2,000,000
Turnover : £4,400,000
Net Profit : Undeclared
Gross Profit : £1,400,000
EBITDA : £425,000
Net Asset : £515,000

Founded in 1978, the Company is a very well established renewable energy business and has been a pioneer in the industry, and almost uniquely, consistently and successfully responded to the variable market conditions that surround a nascent industry.

The Company’s proprietary brand of micro wind turbines is renowned worldwide, most prominently in the marine sector. Powerful, reliable and robust where other products fall short, the brand name is respected by many organisations including British Antarctic Survey, Highways England, Network Rail and many others. Sales exceed 100,000 units.

Taking advantage of market opportunities, the Company, via a separate but exclusively related entity, developed and brought to market another proprietary product which enables customers with installed micro generation equipment such as solar panels to automatically consume the excess energy that these devices generate thus allowing customers to take advantage of their energy production savings, by:

– reducing the cost of domestic water heating

– reducing boiler use

– maximising use of solar energy generated at a customer’s property.

Expansion Potential
This provides the opportunity for a potential purchaser to acquire a pioneering, profitable and innovative company with exemplary credentials and reputation within the renewable energy sector.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The Company has a sales and marketing team with 3 senior operators having more than 10 years with the company and 4 between 1-14 years. Current activity is centred on overseas territories. The team is incentivised via a Profit Related bonus scheme.

The Company enhances its reputation overseas by attending international exhibitions, which are a key meeting place for existing customers, lead generation, market intelligence and networking opportunities. The Company exhibits at significant industry trade shows and exhibitions.
