HDM Solar Accelerates UK Growth with First Scottish Branch
Posted by: electime 24th April 2026
HDM Solar is set to launch a brand-new Livingston branch on 8th May. The Installer’s Wholesaler has experienced rapid growth over the past few years, expanding its presence in the UK with five sites located across England, Wales, and now Scotland. The new branch forms part of HDM Solar’s ambitious £10.2 million investment to establish a nationwide network of 60 sites, helping installers and their communities move towards a greener future.
HDM Solar is focused on putting installers first in every decision, combined with a commitment to same-day or next-day delivery, ensuring projects stay on track and customers are fully supported without any unnecessary delays.
Situated on Brucefield Park West, the 10,000 sq ft premises will include an internal sales office for customer support and enquiries, alongside a sizeable warehouse that will supply installers throughout Scotland and the North of England with premium solar solutions.
The new location will also host one of HDM Solar’s Renewable Training Centres of Excellence, a purpose-built facility that provides installers with free, hands-on training directly from product manufacturers. Complete with a roofing rig for practical learning, the centre demonstrates HDM Solar’s ongoing commitment to the industry by investing in its customers’ continuous professional development.
The branch team has been operating since the start of the year, trading even before the building was complete. Branch Manager Stevie Paton has almost 40 years of experience within the electrical industry and has already been providing HDM Solar customers with incredible support and expertise. Stevie is accompanied by Assistant Branch Manager, Michael Robertson, who has 15 years of experience in solar distribution and has been collaborating with manufacturers to provide installer training opportunities for local installers in the coming months.
An open event will take place on Friday 8th May at 10am to 2pm, to celebrate the official opening of the branch. Local dignitaries will be in attendance, including Gregor Poynton, MP for Livingston. Installers are encouraged to visit the new branch to network with the team, visit supplier exhibitions, get their hands on exclusive deals and free gifts, and enjoy refreshments. To register your interest in the attending or for more information email events@hdmsolar.co.uk.
Stevie Paton, Livingston’s Branch Manager, said: “We’re thrilled to have the keys to our new branch and can’t wait to welcome customers. Our team is excited to support local installers in providing clean energy solutions. We look forward to building strong community relationships, offering exclusive training, and giving access to leading solar products.”
Adam Firth, Group CEO, said: “Livingston is the ideal platform for our first branch in Scotland. It is another important step in building a nationwide network that truly supports installers. Everything we do is built around putting the installer first, and that runs through every decision we make as a business. Our incredible team that we have assembled provides installers with the speed, reliability and confidence they need to keep projects moving and grow their businesses.”
