A Darwen-based electrical company has officially rebranded after being acquired by a green energy supplier earlier this year.

Elektec is now fully integrated into Greenarc’s national brand, and has changed its name accordingly, after being acquired by the company in May.

While its name has changed the company says its values and team will remain the same.

The acquisition will allow the electrical contractor to expand its services and explore new opportunities in the ever-evolving world of sustainable energy and environmentally friendly technologies.

With this fresh direction and a strong commitment to easing the world’s journey to clean energy, Elektec’s new identity embodies its renewed focus and expansion of its solar, electrical vehicle charging, and electrical services.

Matthew Crockett, group managing director at Greenarc, said: “This rebrand of Elektec to Greenarc is an exciting time for us as we continue our track record of success in the traditional fuel and clean energy industry.

“We’ve experienced unprecedented growth as a UK-based company, making the Times 100 list of Britain’s fastest-growing companies for two years running, which is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team.

“With this transition, we’re ready to expand our horizons even further towards a clean energy way of life.”

Charlotte Knowles, sustainability and social responsibility director at Greenarc, said: “My husband, Carl Knowles, and I started Elektec in 2017 following support Carl received through the Prince’s Trust enterprise scheme.

"For the last six years, we have primarily supported businesses in Lancashire and have built strong ties with the local community.

“As we embrace this exciting transition to Greenarc, my team and I are thrilled to carry forward these principles of sustainability and community engagement.

"As my role evolves, not only as a Prince’s Trust Ambassador but also as the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) lead at Greenarc.

"I look forward to expanding our social responsibilities UK-wide and continuing the legacy of making a meaningful impact beyond our industry.”

The multi-award-winning Elektec was established in 2017 and was recently named a national success story for The Prince’s Trust. They were personally invited to meet with King Charles III in July 2022.

This is after the company was given a grant by the Prince's Trust, a charity that was founded by Prince Charles.

Greenarc Limited provides commercial, residential, and public sector customers with a wide range of services in both the fuel and green energy sectors.
