Mark McRae

Mark and his team have been instrumental to Katrick from day one, acting as our accountants while supporting us with business planning and financial modelling that enabled our fundraising efforts. As a founder, having a finance team that truly understands the realities of building an early-stage renewables company has been invaluable.

Mark and Armstrong Watson have been a great support over the years providing invaluable advice on various assignments and projects making a real difference in terms of managing risk and our tax obligations.

At Greenbackers Investment Capital, we operate exclusively within the renewable energy sector, supporting businesses at every stage of their growth journey. Our community ranges from early-stage startups and scale-ups raising several hundred thousand pounds from friends, family and angel investors—often under SEIS and EIS schemes—to more established companies seeking £20 million or more from venture capital and institutional investors.

Across this broad spectrum, one requirement is constant: access to agile, commercially astute advisers who understand both the technical and financial complexities of growth. Mark and his team consistently deliver exactly what these ambitious businesses need.

Their responsiveness, depth of expertise and practical understanding of funding structures provide real confidence to founders and investors alike. In addition, the strength of Armstrong Watson’s wider international network brings further strategic value, particularly for companies with global ambitions.

The support Mark and his colleagues provide plays an important role in underpinning the prospects of these businesses becoming the renewable energy success stories of tomorrow.
