Ellis & Co Partners with Flutter Shutter

Fuelling Sustainability: How a Partnership with Ellis & Co Helped an Innovative Company Tackle the UK’s Energy Crisis

Client: Flutter Shutter Ltd™ 

Services: Business Consultancy, Bookkeeping, Payroll Management, Taxation & VAT

Flutter Shutter Ltd™ is an innovative company pioneering a new, energy-conscious secondary glazing system for the social housing and commercial sectors. With a fully patented and simple technology, their product offers all the benefits of triple glazing without the need for expensive and disruptive window replacements. And as a company driven by its environmental responsibilities and a mission to combat fuel poverty, they needed an accountancy firm that could do more than just manage their books — they needed a partner who matched their energy, understood their ambitious vision and could help them scale effectively.

The Challenge: Scaling a Mission-Driven Company

Flutter Shutter’s mission is twofold: to help organisations meet their Government-set Net Zero targets and to support individuals struggling with rising energy bills. As a new company with an innovative product, they faced the complexities of establishing a strong financial infrastructure while focusing on bringing their solution to market. Directors Rechelle, Nadine and Rhianne knew that for the business to succeed and fulfil its social mission, they needed an expert financial partner who could provide strategic guidance and manage the intricate details of a growing enterprise. They required a firm that could provide more than just compliance — they needed a guide to help them navigate their unique path to success.

The Solution: A Partnership Approach to Sustainable Growth

Hence, Ellis & Co was referred to them and soon appointed to provide a full suite of services. Our expert team worked to establish financial systems from the beginning, handling everything from efficient payroll management to strategic financial planning. Here, the focus was on building a true partnership, where Ellis & Co could provide proactive advice and support. Thus, allowing Flutter Shutter’s team to concentrate on what they do best – developing and delivering their groundbreaking product.

The trust and value of this relationship are highlighted in Flutter Shutter’s video testimonial with directors, Rechelle Davis and Nadine Griffin.

“We found that with Ellis & Co, they were a lot more detailed in their approach. Theywanted to know a lot more about us, about the market we were operating in. They wanted to know about all the different arms in the market as well ,” says Rechelle.

For Flutter Shutter, having a dedicated and accessible team was paramount. This personal approach set Ellis & Co apart, ensuring they always had a direct line to knowledgeable support at every critical stage of growth.

The director adds, “It’s definitely the vibe. On a personal level, so they tick all the boxes… And from the minute we met them, we just felt that straight away.”

The Result: Confident Expansion, Clear Direction

With the strategic and financial support of Ellis & Co, Flutter Shutter has been able to confidently expand its operations, knowing its finances are in expert hands. The seamless partnership has allowed the company to focus on its core mission and contribute significantly to both environmental sustainability and social impact. And it’s brilliant that this long-standing relationship becomes a powerful example of how a professional partnership can help a company achieve its vision while staying true to its core values.
