The new 5,000 square foot unit will serve installers across Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, and the East and West Midlands, providing renewable energy solutions for both commercial and domestic projects.
Expanding to meet demand
The Brackley site has been fitted with warehouse racking, mezzanine flooring, a trade showroom, and staff offices, with significant investment made to support its operation. Founded in 2022 near London Heathrow, Rapid Renewables has grown rapidly, quadrupling its staff from three directors to a team of 15 in just its first year.
Servicing the renewable energy sector
With a team boasting over 80 years of combined industry experience, Rapid Renewables supplies premium solar systems, battery storage, air source heat pumps, and related products. The company’s fleet of vans ensures swift and safe delivery of fragile equipment directly to installation sites. The firm also offers a design service to support solar installers across the UK.
Scott Grant, co-director of Rapid Renewables and manager of the Brackley operation, said:
“We are delighted to launch our second branch at a brand new business park in Brackley, which opens up a great opportunity to extend our renewables distribution service to trade customers across Northamptonshire and beyond with next day and even same day delivery.
“Rapid Renewables is a proud distributor of many premium quality solar PV and renewable energy equipment brands and just like our sister company, Rapid Electrical, we have significant product sourcing capability from UK and international suppliers.
“We are looking forward to supporting the needs of installers as the renewable energy market develops and our first few months of trading have been very encouraging.”
Industry recognition
Rapid Renewables was the first trade member of Fegime UK to be fully dedicated to the renewable energy sector, aligning with the UK’s longest-established wholesale buying group.
