Solar canopy benches installed in a town square at dusk

Addressable market and pipeline

There are millions of benches outdoors in Britain. None of them work for a living.

This is not a £400k idea. Sized bottom-up from site counts and benches per site across 26 buyer categories, holiday parks, attractions, festivals, campuses, promenades, services, logistics yards, the replaceable seating population runs to billions of pounds. What matters is which slice we can win first, and why.

Estimated model

Score = weighted average of twelve 1-10 inputs (seven category drivers plus five deal-level factors), with procurement friction inverted. Probability = 4% + score/10 x 82%, capped at 86%. Buyer categories carry only the seven category drivers, so their scores use those weights alone.

Tier summary

What each tier is for

Low hanging fruit

£0

0 opportunities · £0 gross

Owner-operators and single decision-makers with budget already in hand and the pain right now: holiday parks, campsites, zoos, garden centres, campuses, festivals and logistics yards. These fund the line and produce the evidence.

Scale contract

£0

0 opportunities · £0 gross

Multi-site operators and BIDs where one approval unlocks dozens of installs. Longer cycles, real procurement, and the volume that justifies either our own second line or a co-branded partner.

Strategic framework

£0

0 opportunities · £0 gross

National estates, rail, NHS and heritage frameworks. Slowest and hardest, but each one is a standing order and unmatched validation. Best attempted with a manufacturer of record alongside us.

Two ways to serve this pipeline

Direct versus co-branded

Direct

0 opportunities we can serve from Manchester

Full margin, full control of the story, and every job and pound of tax landing locally. Capacity is the constraint.

Co-branded JV

0 opportunities that likely need a manufacturer of record

National estates and the largest pub and hotel groups buy from approved suppliers. See the scored comparison on JV versus in-house.

Sequence templates

Written for the tier, not the mailing list

Tier 1 · Holiday park or campsite

Lead with the socket hunt at reception. Pitches sit far from mains; the bench brings charging and shade to the pitch with no trench and no generator. Offer two units on one park before Easter.

Tier 1 · Festival or event promoter

Lead with diesel: charging tents are the dirtiest line in their carbon report and the longest queue on site. Offer a metered field trial and a dataset they can publish. See the festival fleet model.

Tier 2 · Attraction or multi-site operator

Lead with heatwave dwell time and queue comfort, then the reuse story their conservation brand needs. Ask for one zone, measured, with a roll-out clause.

Tier 3 · Council, BID or framework

Lead with social value scoring, local jobs and business rates, and no groundworks. Attach the reuse method note and compliance status list, and ask for a place on the next works agenda.

Tier 2 · EV charging and services

Lead with the 20-40 minute charging dwell: a sheltered, powered table converts waiting into spend and reviews. Offer two units at a flagship forecourt.

Tier 1 · Campus and estates

Lead with the summer works window and a monitored feeder so their own metering verifies our figures. Net zero targets need visible, student-facing proof.
