    Approximately 1,100 employees and revenue of $122.6 million in 2023 (source: zoominfo.com).

    What They Do

    Groundwork UK is a federation of environmental charities that focuses on environmental sustainability consulting rather than proprietary renewable energy hardware. Their services include energy audits, resource efficiency advice, and low-carbon technology recommendations such as Solar PV installations, air source heat pumps, LED lighting, and insulation. They aim to assist local businesses, industrial estates, community organizations, and public partners in reducing costs and emissions through tailored solutions (source: groundworksbs.org.uk). Groundwork's Sustainable Business Services team conducts independent audits to analyze on-site energy use and emissions, providing clients with actionable insights and payback calculations to optimize energy efficiency.

    Projects & Track Record

    Groundwork UK has a rich history of impactful projects, including the Winsford Industrial Estate Business Improvement District, which unlocked over £20 million in town and park improvements. They have also delivered EU-funded initiatives like ENWORKS, which supported North West businesses with energy efficiency from 2000 to 2012, and BEE Anglia, which aided over 880 businesses in Suffolk and Norfolk from 2016 to 2022. Their Solar PV installations for clients such as Anderson Bevan and Barnton Cricket Club have generated significant savings and carbon reductions, showcasing their commitment to sustainability (source: groundworksbs.org.uk). Additionally, their Green Doctor energy-saving schemes have lifted thousands from fuel poverty, demonstrating their dedication to community welfare.

    Recent Developments

    In the past two years, Groundwork UK celebrated its 40th anniversary, highlighting milestones such as distributing £50 million in Community Spaces grants and expanding its Green Doctor program. Although there have been no major new contracts or acquisitions reported, the organization has shown intent to hire, as indicated by recent job postings and website activity. Their rebranding to Groundwork Sustainable Business Services in 2021 marked a significant shift towards broader business consulting, enhancing their service offerings (source: youtube.com). The ongoing BEE Anglia program wrapped up in 2022, marking the conclusion of a key EU initiative.

    Working There

    Groundwork UK employs approximately 1,100 staff across various departments, including Sustainable Business Services, Green Teams, and community regeneration initiatives. They offer roles that focus on energy audits, environmental training, and administrative support for local trusts. The organization emphasizes a culture of partnership-driven regeneration, actively listening to communities and fostering pride through practical actions aimed at alleviating poverty and environmental issues (source: groundwork.org.uk). While specific benefits are not detailed, the non-profit structure suggests mission-aligned perks such as involvement in impactful projects and training opportunities.
