The Team

Hi I'm Tom, a seasoned engineering professional who spent my teenage summers alongside my dad, mastering the art of heating in North Somerset. 

​​

After completing my PhD in Electrical Engineering in Manchester, I flirted with the aerospace industry for a while, before launching Green Flare in 2009. I became passionate about sustainability and aligned the business with these principles, guiding our early clients through the maze of what back then was new and unproven technology.

​

After more than a decade, I’ve worked on every type of renewables project, and seen most of the potential problems first-hand. I’m happy to say I solved most of them! Along with my keen interest in renewables, I also love building relationships with customers and suppliers alike – so if you fancy a chat about your home or project and how we can help you, please get in touch.

Hello I'm Matt, I represent the third generation of my family working within the plumbing and heating industry, I have over 15 years industry experience. Starting within the light commercial heating sector, and moving into renewables in 2007, My introduction to renewable technologies began with solar thermal systems.

​

My experience and wealth of knowledge covers design, specification and installation of domestic and commercial schemes. I gained MCS accreditation in heat pump and solar thermal design and installation in 2012, and have established a successful installation business.

​

Now working in partnership with Tom as Green Flare Ltd, my motivations remain unchanged and focused on the delivery of high efficiency systems from pioneering manufacturers that cut carbon. I really enjoy meeting new clients and helping them to achieve their project objectives by applying the most suitable renewable technologies.

​

​

Hey I'm Ash, I started with Green Flare in February 2017 as a Plumbing and Heating Apprentice. Since then I have gained the qualifications, skills and knowledge to install a variety of renewable systems. I enjoy working in this sector as I'm part of the movement which helps reduce carbon emissions, which I find rewarding. 

I'm passionate about sport and have played a lot of rugby, football and golf.  Nowadays, I go to the gym as often as possible and play golf with a handicap of 5.  I love treat Fajita Fridays!

Fun fact:  Geothermal systems aren’t a new thing – Romans used underground heat as a way to keep their homes warm throughout the year in a process known as hypocaust.

Hello I'm Tom, ​I joined Green Flare in 2024 and have over 20 years of experience in the industry, installing innovative renewable systems like biomass boilers, solar panels, and heat pumps, helping homeowners and businesses across the country transition to clean energy.

My passion for this field goes beyond just technical expertise. I spent a year as a plumbing lecturer, and believe renewable energy is the present, not just the future. I take pride in creating efficient systems, finding satisfaction in well-organised plant rooms with clean piping, it's where art meets science!

Hello, I’m Rob. I’ve recently been taken on at Green Flare as a renewable energy apprentice in electrical installation. It is rewarding working in the renewable energy industry knowing you’re having a positive impact on the environment and making customers happy, it is a growing sector and one I am excited to keep developing my knowledge in.

Fact: Solar Energy is almost 200 years old! Alexandre Edmond Becquerel discovered the ‘photovoltaic effect’ where electricity is generated directly from sunlight, otherwise known as solar energy. He discovered this while working in his father's lab  doing experiments about photography, he discovered that some materials can generate voltage and electric current when exposed to light.

My pain passion outside of work is keeping fit, I am a keen runner and take part in local road races, as well as running I enjoy going out and hiking in nature, last year I completed the 3 Peaks challenge climbing Ben Nevis, Scafel Pike and Snowdon in under 24 hours. I enjoy my sports and have a season ticket watching Bristol City, but most important to me is spending time with friends and family.

Hi, I’m Clay, I joined Green Flare in September 2022. Since then I’ve learnt so many new skills and my knowledge is constantly growing about renewable systems. I find it rewarding that I’m making a difference and helping the world becomes a greener place.

I enjoy the variety of my work, some days I’m fitting solar pv systems and other days I’m installing solar thermal systems. I find every day has different challenges which keeps it exciting.

Outside of work you’ll normally find me doing some DIY work on my own house or a family member’s house. I like to follow cricket and rugby but prefer going to the gym, running and going on long walks (normally a pub and a few pints are involved too).

Hello I'm Alex, I joined Green Flare after working as an electrician for several years. You will mainly see me doing everything electrical around the installations whilst occasionally helping out with the solar panels. 

​

Fun fact: The Biggest Solar Farm in the World is in Morocco
The Noor Complex solar power farm is the world’s largest concentrated solar power (CSP) plant located in the Sahara Desert in Morocco. Its geographical location allows for optimal access to sunlight and is said to have a 580-megawatt capacity and can provide electricity to more than one million people.

Hello! I’m Callum. I started my career in Sydney, Australia, learning the roofing trade and specialising in slate work to help rebuild people’s homes.

I left the farm when I moved back to Bristol and now have 3 part-time jobs.

I love travelling and holidays, especially somewhere sunny, my favourite holiday destination is Kefalonia in Greece.

Hi I'm Laura, a certified level 7 executive coach, management trainer and HR Consultant, specialising in development, engagement and high-performance. I have been supporting Green Flare since 2021, helping them define their work culture, boost engagement and business development for next level results in the renewable industry. 

​

Sustainability is a continuous journey for me, and while I might take a detour for fashion and travel, I do try to reduce my footprint in the following ways:

​

• I'm a proud owner of solar panels and a heat pump, which have slashed my energy bills by a gigantic 75%! 

• I'm combating plastic waste by opting for refillable options for beauty products and cleaning supplies.

• Hitting the road with my EQA electric vehicle is pure joy! The quiet ride, low emissions, and the ability to charge for free with sunshine make it a win-win.

Outside of work, I am consistent with my netball, weight training and walking the naughty office dogs - Pepper & Scampi, my fur-babies.​

Hi I'm Pepper, an Italian Greyhound stud with a personality as spicy as my name 🌶️🐾.  At Green Flare, work and play go paw in paw!

​

A little about me, I have a passion for fashion, just like my Italian heritage, I have an impeccable sense of style. You'll often find me strutting around the office, rocking the latest designer doggy threads and effortlessly stealing snuggles along the way. 

​

Outside of work my favourite pastime is chasing squirrels at Ashton Court and running with my mates.   

Hi, I’m Scampi, a 12-year-old Italian Greyhound, semi-retired after a glittering career of napping in London and Sussex. These days I’ve settled in the West Country, where I live the good life. Some fun facts about me:

​

• I'm a tad ADHD, hyperactive with the vocal range of Pavarotti..

• I am a master blanket burrito artist. No human assistance required. 

• I’m what they call a “velcro dog.” Translation: if you move, I move. Try me.

• Pepper? He’s alright… as long as he remembers: MY food is MY food.

In short: I’m quirky, clingy, and highly food-motivated. Basically, the West Country’s answer to a four-legged Italian drama king.
