Description

Futurepump is a small company from the UK with a factory in the UK manufacturing solar pumps. It is distributing its product in Africa through Davis & Shirtliff, a large company with a 78 year old history. The partnership is bringing the pumps to small holder farmers across 11 countries in Africa. As climate change is having a “real negative impact” on farmers, solar irrigation pumps help farmers “take backs some control.” Partnerships between start-ups developing innovative products and large companies are key to bringing climate products to the market.


But partnerships are not easy to build. In the case of Davis & Shirtliff, the robustness of the product of Futurepump and its ten year warranty was crucial to build trust between the two companies.
