our partners

We have strategic industry partners throughout and work closely with several academic institutions on research and development. Innovation is at the core of what we do and what makes us different.

We are privileged to work with many individuals and organisations who help and support us in many ways. We celebrate the strength and depth this gives the business because we take meaningful collaboration seriously. We look to have lasting relationships with whoever we trade with, ensuring that our agreements are sustainable and mutually supportive.

We also have partnering agreements with many organisations. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors has always been important to us, and we have worked closely with the RICS, and the company is a registered firm. Individuals across the business are involved in committee work etc. 

Our energy efficiency work has led to relationships with many companies, such as Sterling Accreditation Scheme. Similarly, we work closely with E-ON in supporting their clients and installers with surveys and ECO compliance under Ofgem rules. Mitie Energy uses our E-Count software as a ‘powered by Lifespan’ white labelled product.

Another important partner is the University of Salford. pt has worked with the School of the Built Environment on many initiatives and research projects. The company has had two two-year knowledge transfer partnerships match-funded by pt.

We are also very proud to be working with Salford Foundation Trust, our primary charity, which we’ve supported since 2016. The Trust’s work focuses on helping the young people of Salford, who often come from complex and socially deprived backgrounds, develop and realise their full potential. This aligns with our ethos perfectly and is supported by every member of the team, with our staff also providing support for Salford Foundation’s Inspired to Aspire Mentoring, which aims to develop students' skills, attitudes and qualities by linking them with mentors from local businesses. We're delighted that we have been able to give them a designated office space where they can continue to provide their excellent work.
