One energy family.
One clear current.
Since 2013 we've helped UK businesses stop overpaying for energy — and start generating their own.
From cost-cutters to net zero engineers
River was incorporated in 2013 by brothers Ashley and Guy Hunter, with a simple conviction: businesses deserve an energy partner who sits on their side of the table.
What began as sharp-eyed contract analysis grew into the River Business Services Group — and as our clients' priorities evolved from cost to carbon, so did we. Today, River Energy & Renewables designs, installs and optimises the full renewable energy stack: solar PV, battery storage, EV charging and LED lighting, underpinned by the whole-of-market procurement expertise we were founded on.
We're proudly East Yorkshire — headquartered in North Ferriby — and quietly national, with projects delivered across the UK.

Why clients stay with River
- We're independent — recommendations are never commission-led
- We speak plainly — no jargon, no small print surprises
- We stay accountable — the team that designs it, delivers it
- We think long-term — partnerships measured in decades, not deals
Credentials, independently held
Energy broking is a lightly regulated market. These are the standards River chooses to be measured against — and the recognition that has followed.
Independence doesn't mean isolation. River's strength is a carefully chosen network - suppliers, technology and community.
We're enthusiasts, not evangelists. New technology reaches our clients when the warranty, the supply chain and the payback all stand up — and not a moment before. That's how innovation stays an advantage instead of an experiment.
Let's write the next chapter with your business in it
A conversation costs nothing — and usually saves a lot.
