Zest

Zest is one of the UK’s fastest-growing investor-operators of public access EV charging infrastructure. Based in Leeds, the company partners with local authorities and the real estate sector across the UK.

Major public sector projects include work with Transport for London, Hackney Council, the North East Combined Authority, and Portsmouth City Council.

Zest is on a mission to make the switch to electric vehicles a practical choice for everyone by accelerating access to abundant, convenient, and reliable charging. Backed by the Government-sponsored Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF), Zest is able to invest in larger-scale projects that anticipate future demand, act quickly to deliver essential EV infrastructure, and make a real contribution to the UK’s net zero goals.

As a certified B Corporation, Zest meets rigorous social and environmental standards, underscoring its commitment to a triple bottom line: people, planet, and profit. In March, the company was recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ 2025 by Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture.
