Central Start Client Story: Safer Charging Limited

“As someone applying for funding for the first time, I did not know what to expect. The Wenta team made the process straightforward and were very helpful in answering my questions.”Chris Cheetham, Founder of Safer Charging Limited

Safer charging limited specialise in the maintenance and aftercare of electric vehicle charging points for business and public authorities. The company also provides EV charging risk assessments, design support and consultancy services.  

After nearly eight years working in the EV industry, Chris saw first-hand how many organisations were left struggling with complex aftercare, inconsistent post- installation support, and increasing regulatory demands. Safer Charging was created to remove that challenge for businesses as they can adopt EVs with confidence.

Chris discovered Wenta while exploring what early-stage business support was available through Central Bedfordshire Council. After spotting a grant opportunity for new business, he reached out to find out more.
This was his first time applying for any funding, but with Wenta’s advisors guiding him step-by-step, the process felt simple and straightforward. Our team were available to answer questions, clarify requirements and help him submit a strong application.  

Thanks to this support, Chris successfully secured a grant to invest in a CRM system, an essential tool that would have otherwise been out of reach at this stage of his business. This new system has already improved efficiency across every part of Safer Charging’s operations.

Wenta’s guidance and funding have helped safer charging lay strong foundations for growth. The new CRM system enables better customer management, streamlined processes, and more professional operations, freeing Chris to focus on delivering high-quality services to clients.  

Chris shared that Wenta’s help made the grant application “simple” and having knowledgeable responsive advisors made a huge difference in navigating the process with confidence. 

 

For small businesses seeking similar help, Wenta offers valuable resources and personalised advice to empower entrepreneurs and help them achieve their goals.
