Alva Northern Ltd - The Team

Jay Singh (Director) - Having left a career in property development to complete my Masters degree in IM (International Marketing) in Scotland, I began to develop an interest in the renewable energy sector and set up Alva Northern in partnership with Stuart Higgins in 2009. Since launching the business in the home insulation sector, we have moved into a range of exciting new renewable energy technologies, the fastest growing of which is Solar PV. We now work not only with small systems for residential customers but also on large scale commercial and community projects and are able to cater the needs of all our clients. 

Stuart Higgins (Director) - " I am originally from a Forestry Management background. I have always been concerned on environmental issues. I specialise on the home insulation side of the business. I feel lucky that I can combine my work life with the topics that matter greatly to me."

John Tait, MBA (Marketing), Business Development Director

"Having spent many years promoting thermal insulation, I've watched the sector mature and move into exciting, affordable renewables technology, especially solar PV.

Despite the recent ups and downs of the Feed-in Tariff strategy and UK Government legal failures over sticking to their renewables promises, I’m still confident that we have a fantastic future ahead of us for growing sales of these ever improving technologies that people still want to invest in.

Recent reductions in component costs and some tough negotiations with suppliers has enabled us to offer exceptional value for money installation prices to our customers, and the rock-solid capital investment still returns far more investment potential than ‘money in the bank’ savings can ever do.

It’s an exciting time to be a Scot, and regardless of what happens with the forthcoming independence referendum, I remain optimistic about ensuring Scotland's sustainable energy needs for my children, grandchildren and beyond.  Working hard within the renewables sector is a great privilege."
