Assim Ishaque Graduated with BA(Hons) in Accounting & Finance (Bangor University) and was selected to join HSBC’s graduate training programme. He moved into in FMCG sales and then business telecommunications, Assim established Envirup 15 years ago to provide energy management, low carbon and sustainability consultancy. He was elected as Member of The Energy Institute and gained registration as Chartered Energy Manager. Assim has advised on a number of large scale renewable energy projects in Europe.

Envirup invented its external insulation system (granted patent in 2015), winning two development grants and one major grant for collaborative research, chaired by Assim alongside experts on building fabric from Nottingham University, Eon Energy, Eurocell Plc – the UK’s leading manufacturers of building products. The Envirup system is a technological leap forward in the external insulation sector, being one of only two certified for use on brick, concrete, timber and steel framed (non standard) two storey homes. The complexities of current products are made in the factory for a quick and simple installation process. With our UK manufacturer preparing for a focussed market launch, targeting some of the 369,000 non standard homes, Envirup has starting discussions with potential manufacturers in the USA and Canada.
