Pros

Edina was once a company that built great products which it's staff where proud of, It encouraged employees to be innovative and it always cared about it's customers and after care services.

Cons

Since the take over by EESL (Energy Efficiency Services Ltd. & The Indian Ministry of Energy - Who seem to do nothing but sign MoU's which never materialise) the senior management team has been restructured and it has become a toxic environment full of incompetent and unprofessional leaders full of foul language and only in it to get what the can from the company financially. Staff moral is at an all time low and the CEO is incompetent and short sighted.

Thank you for sharing your experience of life at Edina. We are very much the same company pre-acquisition in the way that we have retained our core design, engineering, and asset-care focus of power generation plants. This focus and innovation led us to diversify our product range into offering battery energy storage systems. These systems leverage our 35-year industry knowledge and UK manufacturing and engineering capability. Whilst I understand your frustration, you will be pleased to learn our parent company EESL has not signed any MoUs relating to Edina’s operation in India of late. The market for gas engines in India is incredibly complex and presents many infrastructure and economic challenges for projects to be viable. No organisation is perfect, and we recognise we have our internal challenges. However, we have made steady progress in addressing these and have launched ongoing initiatives to improve communication and cross-team relations to benefit the wider business which is being reviewed periodically. Thanks again for your feedback, and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours.

Toxic company

Pros

None, this once great company has turned into a toxic company, which has lost most of its experienced engineers and now employing foreign non trained blokes!!

Cons

Everything, problems stem from being bought out by the Indian led government company and the loss of Tony Fenton who was a legend!!

Pros

Pre take over it offered every support

Cons

Post takeover an incompetent CEO took over. He was given a target of £200 million, instead the turnover dropped below £50 in two years

Thank you for sharing your experience at Edina. Edina’s current CEO, Hugh Richmond, has been in the energy industry for over 30 years and spanned a career within high-profile roles at several global energy/power generation companies before becoming CEO of Edina in 2018. Post-acquisition, market challenges in India and the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted our ambition to grow our global footprint. This challenge is not unique to Edina. Post-pandemic, Edina has performed above expectations despite global challenges. In 2022, we launched our system-integrated battery energy storage solution to overwhelming enthusiasm and market interest. Thanks again for your feedback, and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours.
