AgilityEco

AgilityEco’s mission is to play a major role in eliminating fuel poverty, to deliver better outcomes for low income and vulnerable families and households, and to prepare Britain’s homes for Net Zero. More than 10% of households in the UK live in fuel poverty. The company plans, manages and delivers innovative services to provide practical support with energy efficiency, utility bills, household finances and vulnerability.

AgilityEco’s services are primarily funded by utility companies that rely on AgilityEco to fulfil their social and environmental obligations. AgilityEco works closely with local authorities, housing providers and charities to reach those most in need and delivers these services through its carefully chosen national network of trusted and experienced energy efficiency partners.

In 2019 Bridges Evergreen invested in AgilityEco, holding similar values and a social impact ethos to help the company achieve its long-term growth plan.

With Bridges’ expertise and funding, AgilityEco has created value across commercial, impact, human capital verticals, and financial: from new C-suite hires and services to impact reporting and an Employee Benefit Trust/Share Incentive Plan, underpinning impressive CAGR growth.

With extensive knowledge and experience and a strong partner network, AgilityEco plans, manages and sources funding for energy efficiency and carbon reduction projects, providing fully funded services to low income and vulnerable households.
