Whilst working with Selecta as an external resource, an attractive offer to start up a new division within the business came along of which I was to head. I started at Selecta Solar as the Operations Manager with my immediate objective to source solar products from the far east and Europe, import and market within the UK. Starting with solar PV panels, these were imported from China and sold / distributed to Solar PV Installers throughout the UK. Inverters and full solar PV kits were sourced by myself with marketing strategies and plans created and implemented. I achieved full MCS Certification for the business within a two week timescale, allowing installation of solar PV to domestic and commercial premises. I was responsible for creating marketing materials, adverts, press releases and literature for the solar division. From July 2011 to July 2012 the division went from zero to a turnover of £1.8m under my management.
