I'm Now Working For...... (Channel News!) 

It takes a bold man to make such a life changing decision, but you've done it well done, I'm sure you won't regret it.

Well done! You deserve all the success that you’ve earned 👍

Nice move. You've had years of polishing your presentation skills on YT, so makes sense. Your channel will undoubtedly benefit from it too. Just keep your backup options open.

I worked 31 years in IT and I wouldn't have had the courage to leave, very brave move and I hope it works out for you.

Good luck, you’re an excellent communicator, they’re lucky to have you!

You are now the face of home battery storage. The Mat Watson with an Earth Rod of Truth! Try avoid dry info videos and do 0-60 style vids against the competition. You'll be on breakfast tv before long. Good Luck, coz You're Andy, the grumpy Northerner and this is Givenergy. 😁👍

Did it myself in my mid-30s and never looked back! Great to see you being quoted in the online version of the Sun newspaper over the weekend re purchasing second hand EVs.

Congrats EVM. The best of luck. This channel has been so informative and I’m sure will continue to be. We have a giv energy EV charger and have been really disappointed with the lack of guidance around how to set this up, use and troubleshoot as a user so any content on this would be very much appreciated.

This is really great news and by that I mean I am currently looking at a new GivEnergy 9.5kWh battery and 5.0kW inverter. With your employee discount I can now afford two. ;) Well done mate.

Well done, EVM - I really like what GivEnergy is doing (I have GE gear myself) and you're very good at explaining things. A perfect combination. All the best! Gary

Aww man, dream job! 👍 Congrats EVM. Well deserved for all of your hard work over the years. I definitely understand what you mean when you talk about balancing a full time job with RU-vid and family life. It’s not easy and hopefully this helps you balance work/life a bit easier. Looking forward to seeing some of the videos.

Good luck with the new opportunity with Give Energy. Great of you to put your cards on the table regarding your own channel, nice and clear. All the very best.

Congrats EVM. Enjoy your new gig and more time with the family!

Kudos for taking the opportunity. Try not to worry about the loss of seeing your mates from work everyday- I haven’t worked with my best mate for 20 over years now- friends are friends no matter where you met them

Fabulous news for you and for them. It’s a really sound idea and you clearly know your stuff and have a great style for the kind of content you are talking about.

Journey with Jono the narrowboat channel had the same thing happen to him. He ended up working full time for the electrical inverter company he fitted to his boat!

Congratulations and good luck in your new position... I just popped over to their channel and watched your first video, learned something new and subbed. Thanks for all the content so far.

Congratulations wish you and yours all the best. Good luck.

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉hope it works out for you, I always enjoy your stuff 🍻

Whish you all the Succes! Making this channel better at the same time!

Good for you fella, and all the best in your new role🎉

Video idea which you probably already have planned. How the batteries behave and what should we do to preserve the life of them in a heatwave? I’ve seen videos that say the lifespan of a battery degrades very quickly when kept at high temperatures at 100% charge (as solar charging would do). Thanks!

Good for you, it's not easy making that sort of jump. I wish you every success.

Good Luck in your new venture I'm sure you will make a great success of it.

Good luck for this new career. Hope it works out very well for you.

Wish you well on your new venture. 22 years with one firm is a great stint and they will miss you. Onwards and upwards.

Good luck mate, really enjoy watching your videos. I have followed you for a while.

Good decision & moving forward into an area of keen interest and talent. Good luck with it, you'll be ace

All the best with the new venture. You will do great

Good for you and good luck with it all

“Hi EVM Just added this to the community forum: EVM has announced his connection with GivEnergy on his own channel now. Personally I like his style of reporting, and used his videos and advice for choosing my GE system. System is literally a year old as of yesterday, and I’ve been very impressed with it so far. I’ve got to say the previous GE videos didn’t come across as particularly professional. I’ve got nothing against “George”, but didn’t feel his style was a good advert for the company. I’m impressed that GE reached out to EVM as the (presumed) way forward.” All the best with your new job

All the best with your new venture. It takes a of courage to make a career change, especially after so many years at the same company. I reckon in a few months time, you'll ask yourself why you didn't do it sooner!

Nice one mate, pretty sure it’ll be a massive success. All those long hours editing etc have obviously not gone unnoticed. Well deserved and look forward to more from you on here .

Congratulations on your new job, I've been doing IT since I left school and the last 25 years with the same company, so I kind of know how you feel about leaving your IT job, but it sounds like a good move to me. You are one of the reasons I went with GivEnergy when I was looking for Solar/battery almost 2 years ago.

Congratulations on your move, I know you will do well, you have a very detailed mind and your explanation on different things are good , if I can understand then your explanation must be good . Good luck not that you need it.

Congratulations & good luck. 👏

Best wishes on your new adventure! I really enjoy your reviews 😊👍

Good luck and I hope it works out for you,

Well done! I hope it works for you and your family. You deserve it!

good luck, well deserved. hope to see more of your videos on both channels.

Good luck and I’m so pleased we may be getting more content on here!

Best wishes and Good Luck with the new job!

This is great news, I’m sure you’ll smash it!

very well done in your changing jobs and you are totally correct in saying you would regret it if you did say no

As someone who has worked in IT I can understand why sometimes people want to leave and take up something new like breeding husky dogs in a part of Alaska with no mobile phone or internet coverage. Good luck!

Good luck and as I have Givenergy batteries and inverter adding the EV charger is on my list but I'm waiting patiently for octopus io integration

Good luck with the new venture. The Giv products are excellent.

GoodLuck Andy, onwards and upwards!

Nice one Andy. Best of luck with it!

Best of luck my friend! I look forward to seeing the content you bring out, both as EVM and under GivEnergy

I’m delighted for you. Always enjoy your natural down to earth videos

Big move, but has to be done. Stretch yourself is always a great thing. Look forward to your future videos as always. I am looking at Batteries for home to complement my EV and Octopus Energy overnight rates, especially as we now have a 20% (VAT) discount now in the UK. So cost justification for batteries and potential payback range would be great.

Congratulations 🎉 I just thought it was a one off, so best of luck making a full time job out of it. Best of luck with the M6 also, I don't miss the ques before the M56 junction. Two videos I can think of on givenergy - 1 - different options to mount the gateway, normally it just goes above the battery next to the fuse board / meter, but sometimes you might want to mount that by the meter and the batt somewhere else, it'd be nice to see what options are available for their newest / most expensive product. 2 - Setup their charger or battery / inverter for different tariffs, this is now to set it up for agile / intelligent / ovo etc. If you could ask your bosses to develop an all in one with solar / dc in also (like the libby etc). A dc out or dc car charger would also be nice (would love an option to rapid charge my mii at say 10-20kw).

As a retired IT guy - good luck in your new endeavour!

Well done and good luck mate!

Congratulations on the new job and … wow -what nice comments - nice to see on you tube 😊

Congrats Andy!! Fantastic news and what a change of career. Also sorry I missed it but congrats on your 75k subs, countdown to 100k. Still remember when you went to LA when you had about 25k subs thanks to Ford.

Good luck! Good decision, not easy to leave after so many years. I did it when I started my own business in web development, I left my 22 year banking career when I was 43. Never regretted it! Much happier, nearing retirement age and not planning to quit anytime soon 😀. Again, power to you and enjoy your new challenge! 🎉💪

Best of luck. I wish I knew a long time ago that regret is worse than failure

Artisan Electrics launched a Give Energy video yesterday. Well done on the move.

Congratulations, always worth taking the risk.

Great decision. Always good to mix it up, I work part time, it’s great having time for you and your family.

Hope it all works out for you 🤞

I have solar panels and a Givenergy battery. You are on the right track.

SO amazing to see the content you manage to make while at the same time holding down a full time job - that is some dedication!

Good luck with it, remember it’s the things you don’t do that you regret

Congratulations 🎉. That must have taken a lot of thought and plumbs the size of bowling balls. Well deserved. 👍

Congratulations, wishing you the very best of luck. Thanks to your reviews, we took the plunge & have Givenergy Hybrid inverter (gen 1) & 2 x 5.2kWh batteries installed.

Good luck and enjoy it.

Congratulations. Sounds like growth and taking a risk. Which is what life is all about I think. Fantastic, direct line to Giv…why is my 9.5 getting stuck charging at 289w all night so my battery isn’t charged? To be fair it’s stumped the Giv techs so far. Bad cell or something

That's awesome......! Can I give you some feedback/ recommendations on further software features?

Glad to hear that the channel you created will continue and I think you have made the right decision.

Change is scary. brave man you are.

Good luck in your new job / career, any chance you could do a video about how to connect a Tesla to intelligent octopus ? Or how to add a virtual key ?? It’s causing me no end of headaches 😢!!

That’s awesome. Congratulations on the new job

Fair play to you. Been with you from the early leaf days so good to see you're hard work is paying off for you.

Good luck, sounds exciting.

All the best in your new job. Glad you can have a bit more time doing things you want to do.

Sounds like fun, and the 200 mile journey should be ideal for vehicle and ancillary equipment test runs. Go for it.

All the best. Best regards Martin

Well done, always hard to leave somewhere you love but as you say you'll never know if you don't try and you can't buy time with the family

Congratulations - I'm sure that you are going to be a huge success

Very best wishes, I'm sure you will make it a success for both you and them.

Good for you, well done. By the way, what's the staff discount like?

Congrats, great to see you take up the opportunity. Enjoy!

Sounds like a WIN : WIN - well done .

Congratulations! Nice move! I have ordered my Givenergy Stackable and inverter a while ago, but waiting for the installation… So no suggestions or questions yet!;-)

Being a Givenergy customer as well as an EVM viewer does this mean I now get a double dose of EVM.🤷🏻‍♂️

Good luck what a forward thinking company you have been my watch for years its a great channel nice one 👍

A great opportunity. I got a GivEnergy battery on the back of your video. I’ve wondered about adding an additional battery & how much work is involved?

Good for you 👍

Seems like a case of bread meet butter. Congratulations and good luck

It sounds like a really good decision. 👍

Good luck with the new job!

Congratulations, I hear they are a great company. I hope it works out for you.

Congratulations EVM. Wishing you all the best.

Cheers mate you will do well 💪

Well done and all the best.

Good luck with your move. There’s massive potential for GE to attract lots of customers, but we simply don’t understand and particularly worrying is finding suitable advisors and installers

Well done mate. One of the reasons I got my GivEnergy system was because of your videos. Mega happy with it
