Our Philosophy

The changing role of technology in business

In today’s business climate, using up-to-date technologies can increase the value of the corporate product offering. But the technology must be balanced against commercial and environmental pressures, and due account must be taken of present and emerging regulatory trends as well as the human aspect of technology introduction and management.

The interest in energy matters has increased considerably over the past five years with an increase in energy security, sustainability and efficiency. More recently, interest turns to excitement as “green energy” has changed from the vision of a few to the creed of the many. Although the interest level is high, it is not so easy to know what should be done.

We can help. Our staff have been working with energy storage, renewable energy and distributed energy for twenty years.

Our business:

We support the development and deployment of energy storage and we believe it is our core knowledge area.  With our engineering and commercial insight into technology transfer, intellectual property and technology strategy, coupled with a powerful background in competitive analysis, market analysis, market development and marketing communication, we have the skills to guide you through the maze. Our specialist skills in energy and sustainability will prepare you for the uncertain future ahead. We have access to manufacturers and distributors of renewable energy, energy saving and energy storage devices. We can guide you by delivering product assessments and technical appraisals of new technologies.  We can support product developers to product launch and beyond. We work with developers and users to see the successful deployment of energy storage.

We think of ourselves as consultants who specialize in electrical energy storage, and we know where it fits into the bigger picture.
