The initiative underscores a significant step towards reducing carbon footprints and promoting renewable energy use. The financial benefits are equally impressive, with substantial savings on energy bills further enhancing the project’s appeal. GB NRG’s expertise and collaboration have been pivotal, providing Crendon Timber Engineering with both environmental and economic advantages. This initiative sets a new standard for sustainability in the timber industry, demonstrating the tangible benefits of renewable energy investments.

“Our objective is to create a climate of excellence, not only for our products and services, but for our employees, those persons affected by our activities and for the environment,” said Ed Kirk, operations, innovations and sustainability director at Crendon. “We will manage our activities to minimise, wherever practical, their effect upon the environment. We are committed at all levels and at all functions of the organisation to continually improve our efforts. We recognise this will only be achieved by regular monitoring of our performance against objectives regulated by a committed management system. Solar PV is one aspect of this.”

“This has been a great project for both companies and sets a new standard for sustainability in the timber industry,” said Nathan Smith, business development director at GB NRG. “It’s extremely satisfying to see happy customers like Crendon Timber Engineering benefitting from the financial savings that PV can afford whilst, at the same time, helping to achieve substantial carbon reductions. The financial upside is better than ever.”
