Bestport Private Equity invested in fast growing LED and solar consultancy business Energy Efficient Solutions Group (“EESG”) in September 2021.

EESG is a fast-growing LED and solar consultancy that designs, supplies, and installs LED and solar solutions for the healthcare, local authority, education, and commercial sectors.  EESG has grown over 50% in each of the last two years on the back of positive market trends as the government and commercial markets become more focused on the environment and reducing carbon emissions.

Bestport and ThinCats provided debt and equity funding of £19m to help support continued growth of ESL.  David Hall, previously CEO of Polypipe and non-executive Chairman of Aspen Pumps, has joined the board as Chairman.
