One of the greatest pleasures in my job is to support companies and organisations run by people I really like.
Not every business owner can say that. Quite simply, some might not know all their customers or their clients. Or want to!
But we do. At Be Bold Media, we get to know them really well.
It's what makes the PR partnership work.
When you get under the skin of a business and get to know and like the people running them, it's a privilege. It absolutely drives us to do better and better to get the results we know they deserve.
So with that in mind, meet the fab Heidi Vaughan and Joe Collison from CES.
Lovely people with a great team - formerly Collison Electrical Services but now up and running with their successful hashtag#poweredbyces brand, fast becoming the go-to specialist for commercial-scale solar PV/renewable projects in this region and way beyond.
For my construction/built environment network, CES's ethical stance, accreditations, apprenticeships and hashtag#goodbusiness approach, make them a perfect partner for public sector projects where social value in the supply chain counts.
For my manufacturing contacts, many of whom are accessing funding support through UKSPF schemes such as the Business Energy Advice Service programme, to deliver on net zero ambitions - CES also have innovative solutions to grid capacity issues and battery storage.
There's a link in the comments to some CES case studies so you can see their impressive projects, technical know-how and the impact they are delivering for their own clients.
Thanks for the breakfast meeting Heidi and Joe, Sophie Savage and I very much enjoyed the catch-up and the planning ahead. (And all the holiday, dogs, branded baby-gro chat too.)
