cragcliff - About Us

Our Story

Founded on Practical Expertise

Established in Leeds in 2009, cragcliff emerged from a simple observation: businesses wanted to reduce energy costs and environmental impact but lacked access to independent, practical guidance.

Our founding team combined engineering backgrounds with commercial experience, enabling us to bridge technical possibilities with business realities. Over fifteen years, we have expanded from a two-person consultancy to a team of twelve specialists, each bringing distinct expertise to client projects.

We remain committed to our original principle: recommendations must be honest, achievable, and financially sound. We do not sell equipment or take commissions from suppliers, ensuring our advice serves only our clients' interests.

Our Approach to Energy Consulting

Every organisation faces unique constraints. We build our recommendations around your specific circumstances rather than applying generic templates.

Initial conversations focus on understanding your operational requirements, budget parameters, and sustainability ambitions. This foundation shapes all subsequent analysis and planning.

We favour phased implementation where appropriate, allowing organisations to build confidence and capability before larger investments. Quick wins often fund more substantial projects, creating momentum without straining resources.

Throughout engagements, we maintain transparency about limitations and uncertainties. Where projections depend on assumptions, we clearly state them. When better alternatives exist beyond our scope, we say so.

What Guides Our Work

Principles that shape how we engage with clients and approach each project

Independence

We maintain no commercial relationships with equipment suppliers or contractors. Our recommendations reflect only what serves your objectives, free from external incentives.

Rigour

Assessments rely on measured data rather than industry averages. We validate assumptions against actual performance and adjust projections accordingly.

Clarity

Technical complexity should not obscure understanding. We present findings in accessible language and ensure stakeholders grasp implications before decisions are made.

Working Across Yorkshire

From our base in Leeds, we serve clients throughout the region, understanding local conditions, regulations, and commercial contexts.

Our portfolio includes manufacturers in Bradford, hospitality groups in Harrogate, logistics operations in Wakefield, and property portfolios spanning multiple cities. This breadth provides perspective that informs recommendations across sectors.

We maintain relationships with regional authorities, utility providers, and industry bodies, ensuring awareness of funding opportunities, regulatory changes, and emerging technologies relevant to our clients.
