Sunny outlook as Source climbs new heights

Peter Downey - "great to be representing two such ambitious companies"

Nov 2011

Source has been tasked with raising the profile of two Yorkshire-based companies. The first installs solar panels on roofs and the second helps prevent people falling off them.

Oakapple Renewable Energy Limited (OAREL), which was established last month by well-known entrepreneurs Philip Taylor and Gary Douglas, plans to invest £100m and create 14 new jobs over the next two years.

The second account, Rostek-UK, specialises in fall protection and the installation of systems that give operatives access to the facades of high-rise buildings.

OAREL is aiming to become one of the UK's leading providers of renewable energy generation systems, but will initially be generating power through the installation of free solar panels.

As the company will be concentrating much of its efforts on targeting the commercial sector rather than the residential market, Source has created a media relations campaign designed to reach food processing companies, hotels, licensed premises, GP surgeries, retail outlets, manufacturing companies, facilities managers and ground rent portfolio landlords.

Rostek-UK was established less than two years ago and has already won a number of high profile contracts including Southmead Hospital in Bristol, Pioneer Point in London and the National Football Stadium.

In this instance Source will be targeting roofers, construction companies, architects and specifiers to help build awareness and to enhance further the company's growing reputation.

Commenting on the new wins, Peter Downey of Source said: "It is great to be representing two such ambitious companies who want to become market leaders in their sectors. 

"In the current economic climate it is rewarding to be working with people who have such a positive outlook and appreciate how marketing and PR can help them to achieve their goals."
