2022 has been a year like no other for Volta Compliance (Volta), the Leeds-based electrical contractor 2022 – a year of recognition and success for Volta Compliance

Its innovative, forward-thinking approach has come to the attention of more than one notable industry initiative, including Digital Enterprise, which has named it a Top 100 company for the second year running.

The Digital Enterprise Top 100 campaign profiles and celebrates 100 of Leeds City Region’s most digitally innovative, transformational and resilient businesses from across nine Leeds City Region local authority areas (Leeds, Kirklees, York, Harrogate, Craven, Calderdale, Bradford, Selby and Wakefield). The businesses included in this year’s index represent a diverse range of industries from innovative shed build and design firm Power Sheds; popular Viking-themed visitor attraction The JORVIK Group; digital training and suppliers for drones, Coptrz and car exterior design and modifications company, Maxton Designs.

As a company Volta has worked hard behind the scenes to support the use of technology, investing in digital technology including its own online portal for its customers. It allows them to: login from any device 24/7 365, access their paperwork/certificates in relation to projects carried out for them and view a real time snapshot dashboard of their current compliance status. This was the impetus that saw Volta be included in the elite list for the second consecutive year.

Volta Compliance, which was established in 2016, has grown year on year. This has been fuelled by a genuine passion for power: hunting down installations in need of an upgrade, checking in regularly on customers’ appliances and readying the alarm bells to ring when needed. Projects are ticked off, documented and stored in our online portal to give customers peace of mind and a record of compliance. Its dedicated six-strong team now supports customers in the manufacturing, food and drink, pharmaceutical, and aviation industries, as well as housing associations and community interest companies.

MAD Yorkshire

In 2022, Volta’s Managing Director, Richard Carr, became one of the advisors of the Manufacturing Advisory Directorate (MAD) Yorkshire. This is a collaboration between Yorkshire’s finest independent consultants, managers and interims which arose from a shared mission to ensure manufacturers have direct access to the support they need, when they need it.

Chairman of MAD Yorkshire, Neil Jaggar said: “Now is the perfect time to bring the Summit to Yorkshire for the manufacturing industry. After a rough couple of years, our industry needs to focus on innovation and how we can continue to thrive, no matter the circumstances.”

Small businesses play a vital role in creating jobs and driving economic growth in the UK

The MAD Yorkshire summit took place on 19th July. Topics in the summit were centred around grant opportunities, IT and Energy, accounting and legal, sales, marketing, growth operations, health and safety, compliance and strategy.

In August, it was announced that Volta had been shortlisted in two categories of the first ever Connect Yorkshire Awards.

The inaugural Connect Yorkshire Business Awards will take place on 30th November 2022 at the Royal Armouries Hall in Leeds. Volta Compliance is shortlisted in the ‘Small Business of the Year’ and ‘Outstanding Achievement’ categories.

Volta is a proud Yorkshire company, becoming the trusted name for managing the complete electrical contractor services in full for businesses both in Yorkshire and UK-wide. Richard Carr and his team are looking forward to the ceremony in Leeds at the end of November.

Goldman Sachs’ Resilient Business Programme

In September, Volta announced that it has gained a place on Goldman Sachs’ coveted ‘The Resilient Business’ programme.

The company was already part of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses UK alumni prior to being offered a place at ‘The Resilient Business’. Richard and his team will join a select number of other businesses at the autumn 10,000 Small Businesses UK convening, that will be hosted in Oxford on Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th November 2022.

The investment banking giant developed the 10,000 Small Businesses UK programme to provide high-quality, practical education and business support to leaders of high-growth small businesses and social enterprises across the country.

As Goldman Sachs has said, these small businesses play a vital role in creating jobs and driving economic growth in the UK through innovation and market expansion. Volta Compliance is proud to be amongst these businesses.
