We place the mid-senior leaders building the energy transition. Hydrogen, EV, solar, batteries, charging infrastructure, and the grid.
Offtake is run by Matt Lister, an entrepreneur, and recruiter by profession. It's his most recent experience in journalism, on the ground, at motor shows, press conferences, interviewing the 'doers' that gives us the edge on what's going on in the market, and who's who.
The energy transition doesn't sit in neat boxes. A hydrogen fuel-cell company hires from automotive. A battery storage startup recruits grid engineers. We work across the full value chain because the talent does too.
From electrolyser manufacturing to 700-bar refuelling stations. The deepest part of our network - and the sector our sister business reports on daily.
Electric and hydrogen vehicle OEMs, heavy-duty fleets, powertrain, and the supply chain behind them. Passenger cars through to 44-tonne trucks.
The companies building the charging network — CPOs, hardware, software platforms, and the people scaling rollout and grid connection.
Utility-scale development, asset management, PPAs, and the commercial and technical leadership behind the UK's fastest-growing energy source.
Cell manufacturing, grid-scale storage, BMS, thermal management, and the supply chain feeding the electrification of everything.
Grid modernisation, flexibility markets, demand response, and the systems thinking that connects generation to consumption.
Four stages. A small number of mandates at a time. Retained or contingent, depending on the role and the relationship.
We get into the detail of the role, the team, and what good looks like - drawing on what we already know about your market.
