A Welsh energy efficiency company is celebrating after taking home two UK awards.

Consumer Energy Solutions (CES) was named National Renewable Heat Installer of the Year and National Insulation and Fabric Installer of the Year at the National Energy Efficiency Awards 2023.

The Swansea-based company was handed the gongs at the ceremony, held at Hilton Birmingham Metropole on Friday (September 29), with the awards recognising best practice across the energy efficiency industry nationally.

The company, which has permanent bases across Wales and the South West and has a workforce of more than 500 people, supports customers in energy-proofing their homes to reduce their carbon footprint and ultimately, their energy bills.

This marks the second year in a row that CES has been named National Renewable Heat Installer of the Year, and the first time being awarded National Insulation and Fabric Installer of the Year, thanks to the experience and dedication of its 70 insulation teams. It is also the first time that one company has won both of these major categories.

Back in February of this year, CES also took the Regional Renewable Heat Installer of the Year and Regional Insulation and Fabric Installer of the Year awards at the Wales Energy Efficiency Awards.

On the award wins, Lewis John, Managing Director, Consumer Energy Solutions, said: “This recognition underscores our commitment to excellence in the energy efficiency industry and the positive impact we are making in homes across Wales and the South West.

“We’re already leading the way in delivering money-saving energy efficiency improvements and are thrilled that our contribution has been recognised both regionally and nationally.

“Winning these awards wouldn’t be possible without the tireless effort of every single person working within our organisation, from our installers to the teams out in the field, and everyone at our headquarters.

“It’s recognition that we’re doing something right in our quest to help as many people as possible reduce their energy bills and carbon emissions.”
