We’re thrilled to share that nearly half of our team has transitioned to electric vehicles (EVs). With this shift, the demand for charging infrastructure has surged.

Recently, Ian Pritchett and James Pritchett from Greencore had the privilege of visiting ⚡️Jordan Marie Brompton and her team at the state-of-the-art myenergi headquarters in Grimsby where they manufacture all of their kit including the Zappi EV Chargers .

It was an enlightening experience to witness firsthand the production process of the chargers that are now powering our fleet.

Thanks to the collaboration with SNRG, who have installed a SmartGrid which includes a 726-panel, 302kWp rooftop solar array and a 100kW/ 200kWh battery storage system. This helps to ensure our chargers operate sustainably whilst harnessing the power of the sun when it shines.

Greencore now boasts 14 Zappi chargers, furthering our mission to embrace sustainable practices and reduce our carbon footprint.

Stay tuned for more updates on our journey towards a greener future!

We are delighted to announce that we have secured a further £30 million of equity from M&G Investments.

The investment will be used to drive our expansion, initially by targeting land acquisitions across the South-East of England. Building on an existing portfolio of completed and pipeline projects, we are looking for new partnerships to deliver affordable and private housing for rent and for sale in addition to our existing partnership with M&G Real Estate.

Zachary Webb, Head of European Investments in Catalyst, commented “Greencore’s approach is unique and a disruptive solution with huge potential to scale. Our extra investment will create opportunities to deliver urgently needed high quality, ultra-low carbon homes, using methods and materials that showcase what the future of the UK housebuilding industry could look like.”

Jon Di-Stefano, CEO of Greencore Homes said “This investment will enable us to secure the land needed to deliver on our targets whilst supporting local communities, jobs and the environment. We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with M&G while we seek out new partnerships to help bolster our pipeline and support our target of building 10,000 climate-positive homes.”

Greencore Homes has recently been accredited by BOPAS who provide assurance on the long-term performance and quality of offsite manufactured homes.
 
Having BOPAS accreditation ensures that offsite manufactured homes meet or exceed industry standards for quality and durability. Many lenders, insurance companies and warranty providers require assurance on the long-term performance of properties before offering mortgages, financing insurance or warranties on the homes.
 
Jon Di-Stefano, CEO of Greencore Homes said “BOPAS accreditation validates our commitment to delivering high-quality, durable properties that exceed industry standards. We can provide homeowners, lenders, and investors with the assurance they need in the long-term performance of our homes. This is a testament to our dedication to excellence and reinforces our position as a trusted developer in the market. Our BOPAS accreditation will be vital as we scale up the business to deliver 10,000 homes by 2035.”

In a powerful collaboration with SNRG and our landlord – LondonMetric Property PLC (LMP), we’re set to transform the landscape of clean energy in a groundbreaking initiative, aiming to elevate solar power to new levels for commercial buildings.

Greencore’s Oxfordshire factory will soon be home to an ingenious SmartGrid. This cutting-edge system features an impressive array of 726 solar panels (with a 302kWp), complemented by a robust 100kW/200kWh battery storage system. The projected outcome? A remarkable 18% reduction in electricity costs and a potential mitigation of up to 39 tons of CO2 emissions in 2024 alone. A true win-win scenario!

Pushing Boundaries but the real marvel lies in SNRG’s approach to overcoming significant challenges:

1. SNRG is addressing the financial hurdle for companies by fully funding the installation, amounting to approximately £400,000. Furthermore, energy will be supplied to Greencore at economically favourable rates, ensuring both environmental and financial benefits.
2. Confronting grid limitations head-on, SNRG’s SmartGrid technology obviates the need for costly grid upgrades. The entire factory rooftop is being utilised for green energy generation without any complications.
3. SNRG is simplifying matters for rented commercial properties, handling legal intricacies, and making solar adoption an enticing prospect for both landlords and tenants.

Thanks you to SNRG and LondonMetric for getting this deal over the line.
