About GridEdge

The people behind
your buildings.

Building intelligence experts who believe you should see everything your buildings are doing — and make the decisions yourself.

Buildings have people in them.
That's not a limitation. It's the point.
Our founding belief
Our Story

Built where energy meets buildings

Jim Scott, Dan Wright, and Tom Anderson started GridEdge at Aston University in 2016. They saw commercial buildings wasting energy on a massive scale — and nobody could see it happening.

So they built a platform that connects to a building's existing systems and shows people what's actually going on. Not to replace them. Not to automate decisions behind a black box. Just to give them visibility they'd never had before.

Richard Moore joined from Deloitte. Paul McCorquodale came from EE and Amber Energy. The team grew. The product deepened. And one thing stayed constant: the building is always the subject, and the people inside it always matter.

Meet Us

The team behind your buildings

We asked everyone the same question: why are you here? 

 
How We Work

Why people stay

We don't offer the biggest salaries. We offer flexibility, a genuine mission, and the chance to work on something that matters.

Sustainability is the mission

Every building we connect reduces carbon and cost. This isn't a CSR line — it's the core of what we do.

Flexibility built in

Remote-first, flexible hours, extra days off at Christmas. We trust our team to manage their time.

Small team, real impact

Everyone has a direct line to the mission. Your work shows up in the product and in carbon saved.

Transparent and direct

We say what we mean. If something's wrong, we say so — then fix it.

 
What We Believe

Expert-guided. Never autonomous.

Some platforms take control. We give it back. You decide.

Visible

You see everything we see. Every data point, every recommendation.

→ 3 of 4 customers said "visibility" unprompted
Non-disruptive

We connect to what you've got. Operational in weeks, not months.

→ "Ease of use" cited by every customer
Human-led

A team of experts behind every recommendation. Not a platform you figure out alone.

→ "The people" — top reason customers stay
