In just over a year, we've gone from 0 to 900 customers with very little marketing spend and a sales team of three, succeeding where many have tried and failed before. We're now on the hunt for someone truly brilliant to join our growing commercial team, help us deal with a flood of inbound requests, and build out a professional sales motion for the next phase of our growth.

Quick background on Spruce

Almost 20% of the UK's carbon emissions comes from heating homes — there's simply no way to reach net zero without phasing out gas and oil boilers. Right now the only serious alternative is heat pumps, with their almost-magical ability to turn 1 kW of electricity into 3-5 kW of heat (🤯). But there's a problem: the heat pump installation journey is slow, inefficient, and just so painful. This makes it really hard for existing installers to grow their businesses and puts off gas engineers from starting to do heat pumps. Perhaps most critically, it means you can't currently offer a heat pump when someone's boiler breaks and they urgently need heating.

We're fixing this. We've built a platform for heat pump installers to manage the whole installation journey from initial enquiry through to final compliance paperwork, freeing up their time to focus on what really matters: doing high-quality installations, providing great customer service, and scaling their business. Despite only getting started at the beginning of 2024, we're having a massive impact on installation businesses, suppliers, and manufacturers across the UK: halving the time they spend on each job, doubling their sales conversion rates, and boosting their bottom line.

Having raised a substantial Seed round last year and with strong customer demand, we're scaling the team to massively grow our impact. We're now starting to expand beyond heat pumps and ultimately want to build an operating system for the whole home renewables supply chain.
