What Ecogee does

Ecogee is a North West England-based energy and construction specialist founded in 2012, delivering government-funded retrofit, external wall insulation, solar PV, and social-housing maintenance services to housing associations, local authorities, and property developers. The company is PAS2035:2019 compliant, TrustMark and MCS accredited, and operates as an appointed supplier on major procurement frameworks including Fusion21 (£1.5bn Decarbonisation Framework), GMCA National Framework, and Torus Retrofit Framework (£75-100m, four years). Its core revenue streams flow from energy-efficiency grant schemes (ECO4, LAD, HUG, SHDF) administered through local authorities and combined authorities, supplemented by framework-based social-housing retrofit, new-build construction, and private domestic works.

Ecogee was acquired by The Regenda Group, a Registered Social Housing provider with approximately 13,000 homes, in 2023, integrating Ecogee with sister company M&Y Maintenance and Construction under shared MD Gill Kelly. The standalone business targets around £18m in turnover with a workforce of 101-250 staff, delivering ~5,600+ energy-saving measures per year and operating from a headquarters in St Helens, Merseyside. Notable technical capabilities include the Aliva External Wall System (the first brick-slip system approved for use in Liverpool City Council area in recent years) and the Alsecco External Wall Insulation System deployed on high-rise projects such as Oxford House (90 flats, 15 floors).

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with multi-year framework contracts and competitive tenders, supported by channel access through procurement frameworks. Pricing is largely government-funded or subsidised for eligible households, with private works quoted per project (for example, external wall insulation at approximately £9,000 per property). Key customers include Cobalt Housing, Torus, Prima Housing Group, Halton Housing, One Vision Housing, Regenda Homes, ForViva Housing, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, and Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, with the broader £15bn UK Warm Homes Plan representing a structural tailwind through 2030.
