We’re proud to announce that UPOWA has been shortlisted for Growth Business of the Year at the 2025 Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards.
This national recognition highlights the exceptional progress we’ve made over the past 18 months, scaling operations, investing in talent, launching new technologies, and helping accelerate the UK’s transition to net zero.
The Growth Business of the Year award recognises companies achieving outstanding growth through innovation, customer focus, and a strong organisational culture. We’re honoured to be recognised alongside some of the UK’s most exciting and high-performing businesses.
UPOWA is powering change through growth and innovation
Over the past year, we’ve:
Increased operational output by 142%, installing over 31,000 solar panels across 350+ projects, all without compromising on safety or quality.
Scaled our head office team by 96% and employed site workforce by 214%, while opening five new regional hubs across the UK.
Launched two new clean tech products: the UPOWA ePro 7 EV charger and the EcoGen 200 hot water heat pump cylinder, both designed for developers and installers in mind.
Partnered with Octopus Energy to fast-track Zero Bills homes, earning the title of Supply Chain Partner of the Year.
Delivered a major new commercial rooftop solar project for Bombardier at London Biggin Hill Airport.
UPOWA supports clients across the housebuilding and commercial sectors in simplifying sustainability and meeting key regulatory and environmental goals — from Part L and the Future Homes Standard to ESG strategies and net-zero targets.
Built for scale. Designed for impact.
Our growth is not just about numbers. It’s about building lasting partnerships, future-proofing homes and buildings, and creating opportunities for people across the UK. We’ve invested heavily in skills, training, and digital systems to enable safe, consistent, and compliant delivery at scale.
“This shortlisting at the Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards is a proud milestone for UPOWA and the Brickability Group PLC.
It recognises the scale of what we’ve achieved, but also the culture that drives us, one rooted in trust, innovation, and impact. We’re proving that sustainability and commercial success go hand in hand.”
Championing sustainable growth
UPOWA’s shortlisting reflects our role as a trusted delivery partner in a fast-changing market. As regulations evolve and demand for clean technology rises, we’re ready with a national footprint, deep technical expertise, and a proven track record of delivering results.
Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in London this November. Until then, we’d like to thank our incredible team, clients, and partners who’ve helped make this milestone possible.
Together, we’re powering the future of sustainable housing and energy, safely, sustainably, and at scale.
