What Styne Group does

Styne Group is a privately held UK engineering group headquartered in Diss, Norfolk, operating through four wholly-owned subsidiaries (Styne Engineering, Styne Industrial Refrigeration, Styne Electrical and Styne Renewables) founded between 2012 and 2022 by Mark Debenham, Max Horslen and Debbie Brown. The group delivers integrated mechanical engineering, structural steelwork, bespoke fabrications, conveyors, ducting and pipework, with 8,000 ft² of fabrication facilities at Rickinghall, Norfolk, and an in-house design team using SolidWorks 3D CAD, AutoCAD and Tekla Tedds.

Its refrigeration division, established in 2015 as sole UK provider of Italian manufacturer Zudek's ammonia-based product range, supplies and installs the Airmatik air-cooled ammonia chiller, Enermatik water-ammonia absorption chiller, Recumatik ammonia heat pump, Safematik ammonia abatement system and Ecomatik water chiller, complemented by the proprietary Telematik remote telemetry platform for 24/7 monitoring. The electrical division provides commercial, industrial, agricultural and domestic services including fixed wire testing, LED lighting and EV charging installations across brands such as Rolec, Myenergi, Pod Point, EV Box and ICS. The renewables division, launched in 2022, integrates solar PV (Trina Solar), battery storage (Alpha Ess, SolarEdge, Fox Ess, Sigenergy, Pylontech) and EV charging infrastructure using Solis inverters and K2 mounting systems.

Styne generates revenue through project-based engineering, fabrication and installation contracts, hardware sales of refrigeration and renewable systems, and recurring preventative planned maintenance (PPM) and reactive service contracts managed by dedicated project managers. Pricing is quote-based and bespoke per site survey. Primary customers are UK food-processing and food-and-beverage manufacturers (C&K Meats, London food processors, ready-to-eat salad factories, meat production facilities), supported by power generation, leisure (Diss Golf Club), telecommunications (PPC Broadband Fibre), community organisations (Suffolk Wildlife Trust, Mellis Memorial Hall, Diss Medical Centre) and domestic homeowners, with core geographic focus on East Anglia and project execution across the UK.

Revenue model

1. Engineering Fabrication and Installation: One-time project-based revenue from design, manufacture, and installation of structural steelwork, conveyors, ducting, pipework, bespoke fabrications, and mechanical engineering solutions. Revenue recognised on project completion or per agreed milestone invoicing (30 days payment terms).
2. Industrial Refrigeration Systems and Equipment: Sale and installation of absorption chillers, ammonia heat pumps, air-cooled ammonia chillers, water chillers, and abatement systems. Zudek-sourced equipment integrated and installed by Styne. Long-term contracts for preventative planned maintenance (PPM) generating recurring service revenue.
3. Renewable Energy Systems (Solar PV, Battery Storage, EV Charging): Design, supply and installation of solar PV systems (ground-mounted, commercial rooftop, domestic), battery storage solutions, and EV charging points. Both commercial and domestic markets served. Revenue is project-based with recurring opportunities for maintenance and health checks.
4. Electrical Installation and Maintenance Services: Industrial, commercial, domestic, and agricultural electrical services including new installations, rewiring, testing (EICR/fixed wire testing), fault finding, LED lighting, EV charging, and smart home solutions. Revenue is project-based for installations and contracted for maintenance.
5. Service, Maintenance and PPM Contracts: Preventative planned maintenance (PPM) and reactive repair services across refrigeration, electrical, and engineering divisions. Bespoke maintenance packages tailored to customer requirements. Remote telemetry monitoring (Telematik) provides ongoing support contracts.
