An off-grid energy specialist in Gloucestershire is expanding into larger premises for the second time this year after a spike in demand following the boom in º£½ÇÊÓÆµ staycations.

Energy Monkey, which is a dealer of Victron Energy power supply products, has moved into a new unit at Space Business Centre in Gloucester.

Victron Energy manufactures products for off-grid solutions, such as houses, camper conversions, boats and commercial power systems.

It is only two months since the business took up its first unit at the business centre in Quedgeley and it has now expanded into a new unit more than double the size on the same site.

Energy Monkey said it had "benefitted" from the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ staycation boom after being inundated with enquiries regarding power sources for camper vans - and had seen its turnover grow more than 400% in the last year.

The company has now created a shop and warehouse within its unit at Space Business Centre Gloucester.

“We’ve enjoyed fantastic growth over the last year and that upward trajectory is set to continue," said Energy Monkey director Penny Wright.

“We received an unexpected boost with the demand for camper van energy solutions and that has propelled our growth during the pandemic.
