UK Enterprise Awards 2024

Zero Carbon is driven by innovator Gerard Frew, who has a proven record of delivering high-value multi-discipline projects for both private and commercial clients. An operationally driven individual, Gerard has progressed his career from consulting engineering to enter the construction industry as an operations manager. Gerard has leveraged his collective industry experience to drive Zero Carbon from strength to strength. This experience, combined with a desire to achieve excellence in all his operations, has allowed Gerard to set a standard within the company that is reflected in its extraordinary customer service. “We strive for professional integrity, transparency, and excellence in everything we say, design, and deliver,” Gerard tells us. “Allowing clients to draw on our professional integrity is a huge deal. The systems we design, and install are complex, and it is of paramount importance that we educate our prospective clients in all technical aspects, as they are putting their trust in us to ensure their return on investment.” Zero Carbon specialises in supplying and installing energy-efficient products and services such as solar panels to generate your own electricity, battery storage systems that can be added to existing systems to promote financial savings, and project management services to aid you on your journey. Gerard attributes the company’s success to his remarkable team, who are confident and enthusiastic in everything they do, both at work and at home. Zero Carbon’s internal culture is one of positivity that encourages the team to promote each other’s strengths and offer support when needed. “We have some of the best design and installation talent in Scotland,” says a proud Gerard. “We work in a heavily regulated industry, therefore working at Zero Carbon comes with great responsibility; something our team handles very well – a real A-Team!” A dedicated team is crucial to maintaining a leading position in the industry, in addition to watching the market for emerging trends. Gerard notes that the company has noticed a shift in consumer behaviour towards seeking out trusted household names within the sector. Until recently, the solar and battery market was saturated with brands nobody had heard of. Zero Carbon wanted to change that, and has become a Platinum Partner of Duracell Energy, a well-known household name made famous across the country by the familiar Duracell Bunny. This move helps Zero Carbon to solidify its name in households everywhere. “We are one of very few companies that have remained in this space since opening our doors,” Gerard says. “We are operationally led and spend a lot of time understanding the trends of the marketplace and the incentives on offer.” This not only applies to forming strategic partnerships, but also to the technology Zero Carbon uses in its operations. The industry of renewable equipment is an ever-evolving landscape, and it is imperative that Zero Carbon hits the ground running with any technological movements to ensure that its clients can take full advantage of what is available to them. Zero Carbon is committed to always providing the best customer service, and this has been recognised by happy clients in testimonials. The company has been praised for its professionalism, transparency, and quality of service. “I needed a company that could offer complete transparency, as I had no experience in the field,” says Jane. “From start to finish, I got exactly that. Zero Carbon are a great company to deal with!” “If you are looking for a quality company, I highly recommend this one. They are the very best in the field, no compromise,” reports John. “I was nervous to take the plunge on a company I had never dealt with before. It was a very hard decision for me personally, but I have no regrets at all, everything was so fabulous,” writes Madelaine. “So much so, I have recommended Zero Carbon to friends and family. I will never go back to working with anyone else.” "All seems to be well here. The system is working very nicely and has reduced our consumption from the grid from about 8 units per day to about 1 unit per day. I did the power-cut test by turning off the mains in the garage with the garage lights on. There was nary a flicker, and the broadband internet services continued uninterrupted - very impressive. I am also extremely pleased to say that, so far, I have not detected any radio interference." Dr Peter Duffett-Smith; Cambridge University - Downing College Cambridge, Fellow in Physics 1980-2013, Formerly Director of Studies in Physics, Steward, Librarian, Dean, Vice Master, Senior Fellow. Conclusively, Zero Carbon has displayed a stellar commitment to providing sustainable and energy-efficient solutions to clients, keeping their interests at the forefront of its operations whilst maintaining an unwavering commitment to unparalleled customer service.
