UK Greentech, the UK’s largest renewables wholesaler, has opened its 17th branch as it continues to support the nation’s transition to Net Zero.
The company, a division of Edmundson Electrical, has taken on a newly built, 10,000 sq ft warehousing and retail unit at Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate in North Shields, building on the success of its first North East branch in Middlesbrough.
UK Greentech is the UK’s largest supplier of branded renewables, becoming a one-stop-shop for tradespeople seeking to purchase branded, quality solar panels, heat pumps, cables, batteries, and everything in between.
Brad Capps, Operations Manager, said: “The UK Greentech division of Edmundson Electrical was created to be a renewables specialist allowing us to offer expert support and service to our customers.
“We’ve opened 16 branches across the UK and Ireland so far and the opening of the Newcastle branch will mark yet another major milestone for the company.”
The unit at Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate was built by estate owner, UK Land Estates. UK Greentech looked at several sites prior to signing the lease, with Brad citing its ‘strategic location, energy-efficient credentials and general modern appearance’ as being key to influencing their decision.
He added: “We were looking around the area and B1 just ticked all of the boxes. In fact, I think it’s probably our nicest unit now.
“It is in a prime location just off the A19, making it a short drive from Newcastle, Sunderland and South Northumberland and has been fit out to an exceptional standard.
“We’ve also been able to install our solar panels which have made it even more energy efficient, helping us to not only bring down costs but also demonstrate to our customers just how tidy our products look.
“We are delighted to have finally opened our doors and look forward to welcoming customers new and old over the coming days and weeks.”
David Gibbs, Property Director at UK Land Estates, said: “We are delighted to welcome UK Greentech to Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate.
“We have seen a whole host of major brands invest in the estate over recent years, from wholesalers to manufacturers and distributors, and the arrival of UK Greentech will further bolster its offering.
“The business is a fantastic UK success story and we are thrilled to have been able to support them on this next stage of their journey as they continue to expand across the nation.”
