South Shields-based Hasmart has moved into One Trinity Green in the town after seeing its headcount grow from two to 20 over the past year.

A flurry of new contract wins has underpinned the company’s growth, the most lucrative of which will see the firm install solar panels across the country on behalf of one of the nation’s largest energy providers.

The company installs solar panels, battery storage systems and EV chargers for domestic and commercial customers, as well as smart home services such as home automation, media and entertainment systems and security and access systems.

Hasmart also merged with family-owned electrical business Laycock Electricals this year, a move which saw Chris Laycock join the firm as a director.
