Refresh NI is an energy services business that provides homeowners and landlords across Northern Ireland with products and services to make their homes more energy efficient and to reduce carbon emissions.
They offer a comprehensive range of energy efficiency services, including home insulation, gas boiler replacement, and oil-to-gas conversion. Additionally, they provide solar PV and battery storage solutions, air-source and hybrid heat pumps, appliance servicing, and installation of EV home chargers.
The £200k loan through the Investment Fund for Northern Ireland facilitated by Whiterock will enable them to accelerate their growth plans and maintain the strong momentum the company has enjoyed since launching in 2021.
This additional investment will help us deliver our strategic growth plans and increase our capacity to deliver our range of energy efficiency services and help our customers reduce their carbon emissions.
We plan to invest in all areas of our business, from our engineers to our sales and marketing teams through to our IT systems with the aim of making our customers’ journey to our services even more transparent and efficient.
The process of applying to the fund and being approved was a smooth one and I would have no hesitation in recommending the Fund to other businesses who are on their own growth journey.
We met with Whiterock and we then submitted our detailed business plan to their investment committee for approval before they undertook a due diligence review of our business.
We have been really pleased with just how smooth the journey to this point has been and we are looking forward to using the investment to further grow our company.
- Jack Peel Finance Director, Refresh NI
