What Our Partners are saying

Your project has significantly enhanced our understanding of how to advise consumers on home retrofit in the future. The difference you have made to consumers lives across the area deserves celebrating!

Your time completing the retrofit assessment was appreciated. Very useful to get us thinking about ways to improve energy efficiency of a property. Thanks for explaining the technicalities of each possible change.

Pure Leapfrog brought expertise and an open mind to the thorny issue of engaging private landlords to carry out energy efficiency improvements. They experimented, refined and improved, delivering a one-of-its kind service which achieves results – very impressed with their work.

Pure Leapfrog brought deep sector expertise and worked collaboratively with us on legal structures and financial modelling for our farm decarbonisation project- invaluable in building a solid plan. We've now set up a CBS and will launch our share offer soon!

Pure Leapfrog delivered what we needed: a comprehensive assessment of business options and financial model for our solar farm. The team were responsive and flexible throughout. We'd recommend them to other community energy organisations tackling similar projects.
