Shortlisted companies were assessed against a range of core criteria, including how their products or services stand out in the market, strength of management and financial performance, levels of innovation, future growth potential, and a demonstrated commitment to staff and people development.

Commenting on the latest nomination, co-founder and Commercial Director Robert Wilson said:

“Obviously we are delighted to receive this further nomination after our success in the last couple of years. Winning High Growth Business of the Year was a genuine milestone for us and a real validation of the direction we have taken since launching Gensource just over three years ago.

“To be recognised three years in a row by MELCC, in different categories, is incredibly rewarding.

“It gives us confidence that the work we’re doing, the culture we’re building and the solutions we are delivering are having a real impact.”

In addition to its core solar, storage and heating solutions for residential and commercial customers, the past 12 months have also seen Gensource achieve significant progress as a charge point operator.

Earlier this year, the company delivered its first fully managed commercial EV project at Archerfield Walled Garden in East Lothian, installing the infrastructure and now operating the charging network on an ongoing basis.

Welcoming the latest recognition, Managing Director Josh King said:

“Being shortlisted reflects the next stage of our journey.

“While growth remains important, this nomination is really about consistency, maturity and sustainability as a business. It recognises not just how fast we’ve grown, but how well we’re building the business for the long term.

“For a business that was established in December 2022, this kind of recognition reinforces that we’re on the right path and motivates us to keep raising the bar.”

The MELCC Business Awards feature 10 categories in total, with winners set to be announced at a dinner in Musselburgh this September, expected to attract more than 200 guests.

Installing solar panels, battery storage or EV charging does not always require a large upfront investment. Depending on your business, location and project, support may be available through grants, interest-free loans, commercial finance, leasing or fully funded energy agreements.

Gensource swings into action with golf sponsorship

East Lothian-based sustainable energy specialist Gensource has made its first move into professional sport sponsorship by backing rising Scottish golf star Matty Wilson. The Musselburgh-headquartered business has teamed up with the 26-year-old for the 2026 season, in the process cementing a close family bond with the former North of Ireland Amateur Open Champion, a title he won at Royal Portrush in 2024. Currently competing on the Tartan Pro Tour, Matty is the younger brother of Gensource co-founder Robert Wilson, himself a scratch golfer.
