SGS Energy Wins Sustainable & ESG Business Of The Year At The Kent Business Awards

Local renewable energy company SGS Energy is celebrating a major achievement after being named “Sustainable & ESG Business of the Year” at the Kent Business Awards.

Held on 4th December at the Ashford International Hotel, the ceremony brought together leading organisations from across the county. It was against this backdrop that the Ramsgate-based business took its place among the finalists in two categories, “Best Family Business” and “Sustainable & ESG Business of the Year”.

Securing the sustainability title marked an important moment for the team, reinforcing the direction the company has been building toward for years. As a family-run business with deep roots in Kent, SGS Energy has steadily pushed forward environmental responsibility and community-focused work that delivers visible, lasting benefits. Its core work in solar PV, air source heat pumps, EV charging installations, and MVHR systems has played a central role in that mission, supporting local households and organisations on their path to cleaner, more efficient energy use.

The award landed as a clear acknowledgement of that effort. The mood in the office the next morning was described as electric, with staff joking that the buzz “could have powered a small village.”

Managing Director Jonathan Howes said:

“This award means a great deal to us as a team. Sustainability has always been at the heart of what we do, so being recognised by the Kent Business Awards feels both humbling and energising. It reminds us that businesses can grow while still doing work that genuinely supports the communities around them.”

The team extends its thanks to the Kent Business Awards for a memorable evening and for championing organisations working hard to drive change across the region.
