Lewis Capner
Project Manager
Hi, I’m Lewis Capner, a Project Manager dedicated to delivering and managing Solar installs and roof refurbishments projects across the UK for Harvest Green Developments. As well as being a Project Manager for Harvest I am also responsible for the HQ Premise’s Fire, Building compliance and H&S. With previous experience in people & facility/building management and just over a year in the solar industry, I have been passionate about renewables since leaving university with an honours degree in Carbon Resource and Business Management. From there I went into facility and building management being heavily involved in Security, H&S, Contractor and people management for construction and refurbishment projects. When the opportunity arose to join the ever-growing Harvest Green Team I jumped at the chance and never looked back. With plenty of transferable skills I quickly settled in delivering projects to the high standards Harvest Green and its Directors expect.
Adrian Hill
Project Manager
I joined the harvest green team in September 2023. I am relatively new to the Solar coaster as I’ve only been in the industry for roughly 5 years now. I started my journey as a labourer on the roof in a domestic setting helping to manoeuvre Solar panels into place at roof top level. At the same time, I decided to retrain and become a qualified electrician so I could understand the internal work in addition to the roof top installation. Now with 5 years gone I am qualified electrician with rooftop installation experience and electrical experience. I have used this to move up the chain and now I find myself Project manager of some larger scale Solar installations and I enjoy making the planet greener one panel at a time or several.
When I’m not on the roof top enjoying the great British weather overlooking solar installation you will find me on a Rugby field somewhere in the Midlands with a youth rugby team I coach alongside some other passionate coaches. I really love the sense of achievement when they play well, and all come together an support each other.
