About this business
Supplies, installs and services battery storage for businesses and larger homes, working out of a rented industrial unit in Derby. It has traded since 2009 and has a team of 12. Turnover has eased from £2.05m to £1.9m since 2021, while EBITDA has risen every year from £240k to £336k, taking the margin to about 18%.
