About us

Your secret weapon for winning business in renewables.

We’re Make the Break!

Our approach

Gaining market share in renewables is challenging

You’re in a rapidly growing market, but it is dominated by a small number of developers and is exposed to macro political policy. A complex market with differing development philosophies, tiers of supply chain and local market rules, loyalties and perceptions. A noisy market with new entrants courting the same upper tiers of the supply chain.

And then there’s you

You have the ideas, you have the ambition, you have limited resource. You might only have one shot at getting this right.

Technical businesses are brilliant at what they do, but have a weakness

The public facing positioning, messaging and tactics are not putting the proposition in the best light. Behind the scenes, sales pipeline data is across a scattering of spreadsheets, folders and email attachments.

There is no single plan.

The industry values innovation but at the same time it is intrinsically risk averse

It doesn’t matter how good your product or service is if your prospect views you as too risky an option. You are never going to get past the first round of the RFP.

Where Make the Break can help

You could hire. Or you could partner with our team, access our knowledge, our skills and our lean methodology for BD and marketing in Renewables.

At our core we are a group of dedicated commercial, creative and marketing professionals who are here to tell your story.

The path to a brighter future

Why Renewables?

It started with a simple observation. Founder Stuart Pringle was working with Karl Davis at Empire Engineering – still a client today – when he noticed something. The renewables sector was full of incredibly intelligent people trying to do right by the planet, but many were struggling with the commercial side of their brilliant innovations.

Combined with Stuart’s love for the outdoors and watching the snow disappear from his Scottish childhood landscapes, the mission became clear: help the companies building our sustainable future actually succeed in the market.

The planet needs these solutions. We make sure they get the recognition they deserve.
