Leading The Charge Podcast

Plug in, stay charged, and join us as we take a deep dive into sustainable energy, groundbreaking power technologies, and the integration of clean energy into business profitability plans. We will engage in thought-provoking conversations that highlight the pivotal role of energy storage in shaping the future of power and planet.

In this episode of Leading the Charge, hosts Kevin and Tim are joined by Neil Hordle, Business Development Manager at POWR2. With 25 years of experience at leading UK hire companies like GAP Group, Speedy Hire, and Sunbelt, Neil understands first-hand the commercial pressures, customer expectations, and operational demands of delivering temporary power solutions. For years, diesel generators were the standard. However, Neil soon recognized the potential of battery energy storage systems (BESS). He shares stories from the ground: the skeptical customers who became champions, the ROI proof that closed deals, and the unexpected ease of integrating BESS into traditional hire fleets. Neil offers practical insight and a compelling case for why now is the time to embrace the shift to BESS.

This episode is packed with insights for Sustainability and Account Managers looking to reduce emissions, cut costs, and stay competitive. Tune in to hear how one hire industry insider became a clean tech advocate and why the smartest move for your fleet might just be a battery.
