The Challenge

Heatsource Direct, founded by brothers Chris and Tom Thurling, specialises in commercial solar PV installations and energy efficiency technology for businesses with £1M+ turnover. They sought to reach decision makers in manufacturing, food production, hospitality, warehousing and distribution within 100 miles of Harrogate, generating leads for large scale installations.

The Approach

The Approach

Harper developed a targeted, multi-channel outreach strategy focused on email and LinkedIn, using primary contacts. The approach centred on:

  • Geographical focus: Identifying UK postcodes with active green energy grants, funding schemes, or incentives.
  • Highly refined target lists of businesses matching the Ideal customer profile: £1M+ turnover, suitable roofs for 30kW+ solar, in priority sectors.
  • Decision maker targeting.
  • Urgency driven messaging tied to grant/funding end dates, incorporated with compelling proof points and case studies.

The Solution
