Key Integrated Services, a leading mechanical and electrical engineering company, has launched TaskEnergy. The newly established company, led by industry specialists, will offer a range of sustainable energy solutions for local authorities and social housing providers.
“Given the nationwide focus on net zero, demand for the decarbonisation services will only grow as time goes by,” says Mark Poulton, CEO at Key Integrated Services. “The team at TaskEnergy have a wealth of industry knowledge and contacts and I’m looking forward to supporting them as they expand operations.”
TaskEnergy’s core offer includes gas appliance installation, maintenance and servicing, as well as a range of decarbonisation services from the design and installation of low carbon systems through to long-term compliance assurance and maintenance. The business has the capability to scale to customer requirements, ranging from 24/7 callouts up to delivering complete turnkey energy solutions.
The new business will be led by Laurence Coatsworth and Gareth Whyte who have held senior roles at companies including H.E. Simm & Son and Sure Maintenance. Laurence has over 25 years’ experience in the social housing sector, and at TaskEnergy he oversees the installation, servicing and maintenance of gas appliances for local authorities and social housing landlords. Gareth heads up the company’s renewables team, and his day-day-day focus involves supporting clients as they move to less carbon intensive heating solutions. These include air, ground and water heat pump systems, battery storage as well as solar PV and solar thermal systems.
“We understand the social housing sector, including the challenges facing both tenants and housing providers”, commented Gareth Whyte. “Our mission is to become the number one partner to local authorities and social housing providers for the provision and maintenance of complaint high efficiency gas systems and renewable energy solutions. In the long-term this will help to make energy bills more affordable and help to tackle fuel poverty.”
