P4 Solar selected in the Green Growth 100 in partnership with BT
Keighley business named in UK’s Green Growth 100
Local small business recognised as one of the UK’s leaders in sustainability-led growth.
P4 Solar, the Keighley and Ilkley based solar installation company has been selected as part of the Green Growth 100, an initiative launched by Small Business Britain in partnership with BT to spotlight small businesses successfully using sustainability as a core driver of growth.
The Green Growth 100 champions one hundred small businesses across the UK that are embedding sustainable practices into their operations - from cutting waste and energy use to rethinking supply chains, attracting new customers, and strengthening long-term resilience.
Founded in 2022, P4 Solar has been led by Peter Maddocks, who has placed sustainability at the core of the business. Through their focus on high-quality installations, exceptional customer service, and meaningful contributions to local sustainability, the business has shown how responsible practices can deliver both environmental impact and commercial success.
On being named in the Green Growth 100, Peter Maddocks said:
“We are delighted to be awarded this prestigious accolade and to share this honour with other like-minded businesses who are striving for more sustainable and meaningful practices for their businesses and local communities. It gives us greater confidence that our sustainability-focused practices are being recognised and rewarded, and we will continue to strive to make a positive difference going forward.”
Michelle Ovens CBE, CEO and Founder of Small Business Britain, said: “The Green Growth 100 celebrates the small businesses that are showing sustainability and growth go hand in hand. These businesses are not only reducing their environmental impact, but also strengthening their operations, engaging customers, and building more resilient business models. P4 Solar is a brilliant example of how sustainability can fuel long-term success.”
This Green Growth 100 follows the work of the Willow Review, an independent, Government-backed review into the financial benefits of sustainability, which was co-chaired by Small Business Britain with BT sitting as a Steering Board member. The Willow Review published its landmark recommendations last summer, outlining a roadmap to unlock the vast financial opportunities of sustainability for Britain’s 5.6 million small businesses.
Chris Sims, Chief Commercial Officer, UK Business, at BT, added: “The businesses in the Green Growth 100 are setting the benchmark for how sustainability can unlock innovation and commercial opportunity. It’s inspiring to see how small businesses across the UK are turning greener practices into real business growth. We’re proud to support this initiative and congratulate P4 Solar on being recognised.”
As a business featured on the Green Growth 100 P4 Solar will also be in the running for the Green Growth Awards - hosted by BT on 12 March 2026 - which will see two standout businesses from the line-up awarded a £5,000 grant to help them to scale their sustainability ambitions and continue driving positive change.
