High growth greentech specialist Myenergi has secured a £30 million funding facility to further its development of smart home energy products.

The Grimsby-area firm is to use the HSBC backing to support innovation at the Pioneer Park base, where manufacturing operations are soon to be moved to after a major build project.

A 65,000 sq ft expansion will see the ramped up production of products like the flagship Zappi electric vehicle charger brought to the gateway site at Stallingborough, having been based in temporarily leased town centre premises as sales have surged. and an original site that rapidly flexed to become a pure headquarters was established.

Operations, production capabilities and further R&D will all be addressed with the revolving credit facility as it seeks to build on a year that saw it named one of the top 10 fastest growing firms in the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ, with turnover passing the £50 million milestone. Myenergi now employs almost 450 people, from a founding duo in 2016, and has just seen its 500,000th product shipped.

Lee Sutton, chief executive, said: “The new financing facility from HSBC º£½ÇÊÓÆµ will enable us to further accelerate our growth and innovation in smart home technology.

The introduction of the new funding facility will enable us to accelerate our business development strategy and support us in the next chapter of our amazing journey.”
