Focusing on the Future with New MD, Graham McCracken

Posted

The renewable heating market is growing fast, with heat pumps leading the charge. Installers need more than just products; they need a partner with the expertise, reliability, and support to help them stay ahead.

Our goal has always been simple: to make your job easier, faster, and more profitable and now, guided by our new Managing Director, Graham McCracken and with the backing of Certas Energy, we’re entering a new chapter, one that doubles down on what we know best: heat pumps.

 

What’s New at Freedom?

Since joining Certas Energy in 2022, we’ve had the backing to strengthen our operations, tighten up logistics, and grow our team and that support has laid the foundations for long-term success. Now, with Graham McCracken at the helm as Managing Director, we’re building on that momentum.

With over two decades of experience in customer insight and strategic leadership, including ten years at Certas Energy, Graham has a proven track record in turning customer data into business advantage. He’s built teams, driven strategy, and championed customer-centric change across sectors. Now, he’s bringing that expertise to Freedom and his focus is clear: put customers first, double down on heat pump expertise, and rebuild Freedom’s standing as the UK’s leading independent distributor.

“Customers have always been at the heart of what I do. I’m not a technical expert, and I don’t pretend to be, but by building the right teams and keeping our promises, I’m excited to get Freedom back to where we want to be.” – Graham McCracken, MD

We’ve also been working hard on building on our existing products and our updated line-up includes some of the most trusted brands in the market. For installers, that means working with true specialists. Freedom has been dedicated to heat pumps since 2010, and we were one of the first in the UK market. Today, they remain our focus. With us, you get reliable products, expert sales and technical support, and a partner who truly understands your challenges.

Rebuilding Trust

Graham acknowledges that recent years have brought change and challenges. Now, with the right people and backing in place, his focus is on rebuilding trust and driving Freedom forward.

“Like many businesses, we’ve been through a period of change and transition and whilst that hasn’t always been easy, it’s given us the chance to reflect, reset and rebuild. With the support of
Certas Energy, the right suppliers in place, and our fantastic customers, we’re focused on moving forward. We’re excited about the future and determined to bring Freedom back to the level of success we know we can achieve.” – Graham McCracken, MD

This refresh in leadership is about honesty, accountability, and delivering on promises. We know heat pumps better than anyone and with the right people and processes in place, we’re committed to being the distributor you can trust.

Powered by Certas Energy

Since joining the Certas Energy family, we’ve strengthened every part of our operations. We’ve tightened up our pick, pack, and delivery processes so you get what you need, when you need it.

As Graham explains: “The support from Certas Energy has been instrumental. It’s allowed us to tighten up operations and focus on what really matters. Providing top-tier expertise to our customers and a service we can be proud of.”

In short, this partnership ensures optimum efficiency and lasting partnerships with installers by providing them with the resources, and support essential for success.

Innovation at the Core

We’re constantly looking for ways to make installers stay competitive and deliver top-quality, future-ready energy solutions. That means adapting quickly to new opportunities, from government schemes and grants, to the latest innovations shaping the renewable heating market.

As Graham says “There’s great potential at Freedom. We have strong supplier relationships, loyal customers, and the support of Certas Energy. Together, that’s a powerful foundation, and one we’re determined to build on.”

Looking Ahead

Our goal is simple, to become the UK’s top independent heat pump distributor again. With our passion, expertise, and the backing of Certas Energy, we know it’s within reach.

We’re expanding next-day delivery areas, growing our product portfolio, and investing in services that help you work smarter. Plus, with growing teams and dedicated sales and technical support, we’re here to support you at every stage of the install.

We’ve been here since 2010, and with new leadership and renewed focus, we’re excited about the road ahead.

Shaping the Future of Energy Solutions

As the UK moves towards energy efficiency, heating installers are driving the change. We’re not just a supplier, we’re a partner, helping you deliver innovative, renewable heating solutions.
