Start-up name:<\/b> Suffolk Installers
Founders: <\/b>Alex Fairfull
Started in:<\/b> 2013
Based in:<\/b> Suffolk
Business description:<\/b> Renewable energy solutions provider<\/p>\n

Shortlisted category:<\/h3>\n

Lean Start-up of the Year<\/a><\/p>\n

The Suffolk Installers story:<\/h3>\n

After years working in the insulation industry, Alex Fairfull decided to go it alone and set aside his own money to start renewable home energy solutions provider Suffolk Installers.<\/p>\n

Based in Ipswich, the company fits cavity wall and loft insulations, solar PR panels, and carries out energy assessments and home energy surveys for domestic, commercial and public sector clients.<\/p>\n

With homes and other properties required to meet European carbon emission guidelines, the business has capitalised on its market opportunity and grown its client base fast.<\/p>\n

Working with the utilities companies it has fitted renewable energy products for thousands of Suffolk residents, with Fairfull driven by the company’s ability to help end-customers out of fuel poverty while also reducing the region’s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

51,500 of 311,000 homes in Suffolk alone are deemed to be in fuel poverty, highlighting the extent of the issue.<\/p>\n

A hot topic for the government, the company also believes it has saved 450,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide pollution through the insulations carried out to-date.<\/p>\n

In its first and second years, the company delivered impressive revenues and mid-way through its third financial year, turnover looks set to reach a significant milestone while remaining profitable throughout.<\/p>\n

Why Suffolk Installers made our 60:<\/h3>\n

In Suffolk alone there appears to be a significant market opportunity. Self-funded by a founder steeped in the industry and driven by a mission to reduce carbon emissions and homeowner’s fuel bills, the company’s revenues look to be going in the right direction.<\/p>\n
