People
Our goal is to build an inspirational team who are themselves inspired by their mission, their work, their work conditions, and their personal development.
Our close-knit team of over 110 is led by the inspirational Jeremy Leggett, founding Director of the world's first private equity fund for renewables ( newenergiesinvest ), author of The Carbon War and Half Gone and formerly Scientific Director of Greenpeace International's Climate Change Campaign.
Working conditions at Solarcentury are hard-working but fun. The first consultation in March 2003 identified working hours as a priority for improvement and as a result we now have a flexible working policy. All staff may work any hours they wish provided that they perform their job and don't let their colleagues down.
In February 2008, we officially became one of the best companies to work for in the UK, when we were awarded the coveted two-star status accreditation for Best Companies. This award identified Solarcentury as having outstanding workplaces and investment in people.
