ThinkHire

Think Hire, a division of Think Energy Group, is helping to transform how temporary power is delivered across the construction and infrastructure sectors. By providing renewable off-grid power solutions, including solar hybrid generators, battery energy storage systems and energy management solutions, the business enables customers to reduce emissions while maintaining reliable power on site.

Since YFM’s investment in 2022, Think Hire has continued to expand its product offering and geographic footprint, supporting a growing customer base as demand for lower-carbon infrastructure solutions increases. The business has strengthened its national presence through new depots and continues to innovate, having been named to the Sunday Times 100 for the third consecutive year in 2026, as organisations look for practical alternatives to traditional diesel-powered equipment.

YFM backed the management buyout because of the strength of the management team, its innovative product range and the long-term demand for cleaner energy solutions. It’s a great example of the businesses we look to back – experienced teams operating in growing markets with products that help customers meet changing environmental and operational requirements.

“Our company’s mission is to provide innovative, cutting-edge products, to meet the UK infrastructure sector’s demand for cleaner, greener, and more cost-effective off-grid power generation. The net-zero commitments being put in place across the infrastructure industry means there is a demand for an alternative solution to traditional diesel generators, and we are proud of the part we are playing in supporting this transformational ESG agenda. YFM’s investment will allow us to unlock the business’ full potential.”
