Celebrating 25 years of us

We have marked our 25th anniversary with a week of celebrations across our offices and project sites, bringing colleagues together to reflect on our remarkable journey while looking ahead to the future of low-carbon energy.

Since 2001, we have grown from a small business into one of the UK's leading providers of low-carbon energy infrastructure, delivering renewable energy solutions that are helping organisations and communities decarbonise and reduce energy costs.

Our celebration week was an opportunity to recognise the people, partnerships and projects that have shaped the business over the last quarter of a century. Colleagues enjoyed a variety of treats and activities, including coffee mornings, celebratory cakes, and team challenges, while commemorative gifts were given in recognition of the collective contribution made by employees past and present.

One of the highlights of the week was welcoming employees' children into the office for a Climate Education session. As well as learning about climate change and the work we do, they took a tour of the office, and painted bird boxes to encourage wildlife into their gardens at home, before enjoying ice creams. As the UK continues its transition towards net zero, inspiring the next generation is more important than ever. By giving young people a first-hand insight into the energy sector, we hope to encourage future engineers, project managers, technicians and sustainability professionals who will help tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

Vital Energi's Climate Education Day was a fantastic way to celebrate the company's 25th anniversary while inspiring the next generation. Bringing my two boys into the office for the day gave them a fun and engaging introduction to climate change, with an interactive session that really got them thinking about the impact they can have. Seeing first-hand how Vital Energi tackles climate challenges on a much larger scale during the office tour was equally inspiring. From painting bird boxes to enjoying lunch and ice cream together, the whole day was brilliantly organised and thoroughly enjoyed by both boys. They've come away genuinely excited about engineering and are already talking about following a similar career path in the future.

We loved painting the bird boxes and seeing Mummy trying to bend the pipe. The best bit was serving the ice cream to people at Vital Energi

Speaking of milestones, our leadership team reflected on the company's continued success and the foundations that have enabled its growth over the last 25 years.

While the business has evolved significantly, its focus remains unchanged: delivering innovative energy solutions, investing in its people and supporting customers on their decarbonisation journeys.

The anniversary celebrations also served as a reminder that our success has always been built on collaboration. From employees and supply chain partners to customers, communities and industry stakeholders, the relationships developed over the past 25 years have helped drive progress and deliver lasting impact across the UK.

Here's to the next 25 years.
