A Billingham-based firm offering comprehensive support to people looking to make their homes more energy efficient has gained a prestigious quality mark in record time.
Jayvee Renewables, part of Jayvee Building Services Ltd, offers a “one stop shop” service to customers looking to install solar photovoltaic roof panels.
A local entrepreneur developing an innovative new solar panel could now see his idea realised thanks to North East Access to Finance.
Paul Laidler came up with the plans for a solar generating panel, but struggled to find funding to turn it into a commercially viable venture. However, after attending advice workshops at Newcastle Science City, he was able to develop his practical knowledge as well as vital business contacts.
Paul, who is director of Northern Technology Developments Ltd, is now in talks with investors who could help him progress his invention, which will help businesses and home owners save significant amounts on their energy bills.
