Project
A long-established printing business was investing heavily in the latest digital printing technology, positioning itself as an early adopter in a rapidly evolving market. To support that growth, the business needed to reduce its operational costs, and its energy bills were an obvious place to start.
BTG Eddisons was already advising the client on efficiencies across their converted mill premises when our sustainability team identified a clear opportunity. A roof-mounted solar PV array would generate significant power for the business's manufacturing processes, delivering meaningful reductions in utility costs without disrupting day-to-day operations.
Approach
Our team identified a suitable solar PV system for the site and managed the full supply and installation quote process. We also produced detailed reporting that quantified the projected utility savings, giving the client a clear picture of the financial case for investing in renewable technology.
With capital earmarked for continued investment in digital printing equipment, the client preferred a funded solution. We introduced them to MAF Finance Group, our specialist finance partner, whose team worked directly with the client to explore their options. Drawing on our technical expertise, MAF identified a panel of funders able to cover 100 per cent of the supply and installation costs.
The collaboration between BTG Eddisons and MAF Finance Group ensured the client secured highly competitive pricing and preferential terms, without tying up their own capital.
Results
Once a funder was confirmed, the system was ordered, installed, and generating savings within six weeks. The business is now benefiting from reduced utility costs while continuing to invest in the digital printing capability that sets it apart in its market.
The project is a strong example of what BTG Eddisons can deliver when technical property expertise and specialist finance work together: a complete solution, structured around what the client actually needs.
"Renewable energy installations make compelling financial sense for manufacturing businesses, but the funding question often holds people back. By working alongside MAF Finance Group, we were able to take the client from initial opportunity identification all the way through to a fully funded, operational solar system.”
