Founded last year by entrepreneurs Max Lines and Tom Elvidge, the company with a team of six designs, installs and monitors systems for UK homes and businesses.

Now a trusted partner of leading supplier Octopus Energy that has further cemented its reputation for competence in a sector which, despite regulatory safeguards, has a patchy record for high standards and fair play. This year Synth, which holds MCS quality and safety assurance accreditation, is forecasting a £1million turnover and £8million in 2027 based on its current install pipeline and regional expansion plan.

It’s a position that after bootstrapping the operation makes Lines and Elvidge ready to consider external investment. With £400,000 to £500,000 in mind this would go towards doubling staff numbers and further building the tech.
