Think Hire Makes Times Top 100 List With Sustainable Site Generator Hire

Date: 22/07/24

With evidence for climate change growing thick and fast, from floods to droughts, hurricanes to high atmosphere turbulence, it’s reassuring to know that one of the solutions to the environmental crisis is growing just as fast.

Think Hire, the UK’s leading sustainable energy as a service provider, were delighted to be named on the Sunday Times list of the Top 100 fastest growing private companies. This demonstrates our commitment to growth and expansion in this crucial sector, bringing original and innovative green energy technologies, such as solar site generator hire, within reach of a wide range of markets.

Top thirty for Think Hire

With sales of £6.5million and year on year growth of over 130%, Think Hire achieved an impressive 30th place on the Sunday Times Top 100 list. That puts the company ahead of big names such as Castore – the kit maker for England Cricket, McLaren Racing and a host of Premier League and Championship sides – and just a few places behind Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone Brewery, with all its star appeal and free Amazon TV advertising on Clarkson’s Farm.

Top energy company

Think Hire were the top ranked business within the energy sector and one of only three energy related companies to make the Top 100 list. Based in Oldham, Think Hire were also the fifth fastest growing business in the North overall, and the 15th fastest growing private business outside London.

Consistent growth

Such impressive growth is nothing new for Think Hire. Thanks to an innovative range of clean energy products, such as the Solartainer for site generator hire, Think Hire has doubled its revenues year on year since Neil Richardson joined as Managing Director in 2019. Significant investment from YFM Equity Partners in 2023 has further boosted the company’s growth and is helping Think Hire to unlock the full potential of this rapidly growing and urgently needed sector.

The management team at Think Hire are delighted to have ranked so high on such a prestigious list. It reflects our continued commitment to providing cutting edge clean energy products, such as site generator hire, backed by state-of-the-art energy monitoring and management to maximise the benefits.

More growth to come

Far from resting on their laurels, Think Hire has plans to grow further still, with the opening of two new depots, one in the South West and one in Scotland. These new depots will create around 40 new jobs and make Think Hire’s range of site generator hire and associated equipment even more accessible to construction, road and rail contractors at either end of the United Kingdom.

Meeting a growing demand

While Think Hire’s growth is pleasing in its own right, it also means much more than that. It reflects an increasing awareness among Britain’s builders and contractors of their role in climate change. It demonstrates a willingness to acknowledge their contribution to emissions, and to seek out sustainable alternatives that cut fossil fuel use and the associated greenhouse gasses.

The growth of companies like Think Hire can only be a positive for our planet, as we all work together to combat climate change and strive to meet the ambitious goal of Net-Zero by 2050.
