UFW Appoint Ecotec as their South West Wind Resellers

Ecotec Renewable Energy has been appointed as a reseller for the newly launched 55KW EC wind turbine, in the South West, by the exclusive distributor UFW Ltd (UK).

UFW Ltd, part of the DCC Group, secured the exclusive distribution rights in the UK and Ireland to the EC Wind 55kW wind turbine, manufactured in Sweden earlier this year. UFW has been inundated to date with applicants to resell the much anticipated 55KW product.

The 55kW wind turbine has been developed by experienced ex-Volvo engineers with a keen eye for quality and robust design. Pioneering the development of wind turbines in the industry the EC Wind 55kW showcases a lot of technology that has previously only been found in much larger turbines.

Ecotec Renewable Energy is a part of Venture Trading Ltd which has been trading in the farming industry for the past 26 years. Always looking to be at the forefront of the industry Venture Trading Ltd created Ecotec as their platform into the Renewable market place.

Venture and Ecotec pride themselves on offering a first class service and back up to their large and loyal customer data base, offering expert industry knowledge and understanding.

Tim Horwood, owner of Venture Trading Ltd comments: “We believe that EC Wind is one of the best products on the market and will be extremely attractive to our current client base. We are delighted to be on board and look forward to a long and prosperous partnership. The average farming income has been down over the past few years due to a multitude of economic, market and weather issues, so the return on investment that wind turbines offer is very welcoming. In addition, I’m pleased to note that banks are keen to help fund the turbine projects in which you can see 20 years of guaranteed income with pay back in 5 – 7 years; “it’s got to be a sound investment”.

UFW’s Wind Business Development manager David Taylor said: “ We are very impressed by the set up and ethos of Ecotec: they are a small team yet consistently offer  a professional and personal service.  In addition, Ecotec is part of Venture Dairy Services serving over 1,000 farming customers. We have every confidence in our appointed reseller and truly believe they will be a very successful business partner.”

The Ecotec team has been trading on behalf of UFW for 6 weeks, having completed installation training in Sweden, and they have already secured their first order, beating competition from one of the industry’s largest players to win the job.
