Acquirer profile:

Freshstream is a major private equity house with a particular focus on the UK and Benelux markets, investing in organisations that demonstrate strong cultural values and contribute positively to society.

Marketing strategy:

We focused on Project Better Energy’s evolution over the course of its 10-year history from a solar solutions specialist to a market leader in the UK’s green energy sector, delivering an extensive range of applications to serve growing residential and commercial demands.

Negotiation strategy:

Project Better Energy was a fantastic opportunity to present to investors across the industry, especially due to evolving regulations across the UK which include mandatory laws relating to the installation of EV charging stations with all new properties. The company has made the necessary changes to cement itself at the forefront of its industry and this helped us to close a collaborative deal.
