The founders of a North East company which was snapped up in a significant deal by a European group have launched a new venture.
Dan Martin and Anthony Piggott sold Consett-based Elmtronics, a leading fleet electric vehicle (EV) charging point firm and winner of the high growth and ambition award at the Durham, Sunderland and South Tyneside Business Awards in 2020, to Norwegian EV charging giant Mer at the start of 2022.
Since then, the pair have been buying up holiday let properties both here and abroad, and have been determined to make their portfolio as green and sustainable as possible. That prompted moves towards their new business, a new home energy management system (HEMS) app from a new company, Swarm Energy. With plans to grow its workforce, they have set up a base for Swarm Energy at Hoults Yard in Byker, Newcastle.
