“We are delighted to be recognised by the All-Ireland Business Foundation with the accreditation of Business All-Star Solar Energy Company of the Year 2024. As Ireland’s largest Solar Installation company, we put a huge emphasis on quality and I feel this recognition and the fact that we had the highest ever audit score during the accreditation process reflects that.
I feel this award is a reflection of the incredible work that happens each and everyday at Activ8. Whether it’s from our teams at our headquarters in Carrickmacross, or indeed Naas or Cashel, or from our installation and survey teams on rooftops across the country, it all helps deliver a world class customer journey for both our residential and commercial customers.
This accreditation will inspire us to new heights as we plan to grow once again in 2024. Our company hasn’t changed since 2007, ‘we don’t meet standards, we set them’ and we will continue to live by this motto each and every day.”
Managing Director of the All-Ireland Business Foundation Kapil Khanna said: The accreditation, which is now held by over 650 firms, is needed by the thousands of small and medium businesses which operate to their own standards but have nothing to measure them by.
He said: We evaluate a company’s background, trustworthiness and performance, and we speak to customers, employees and vendors. We also anonymously approach the company as a customer and report back on the experience. The business goes through at least two interviews and is scored on every part of the process against set metrics.
