We ’ ve also implemented initiatives to enhance the energy efficiency of our office buildings . Company cars are either hybrid or electric and we ’ ve installed charging points around our sites . We ’ re also exploring more environmentally viable options for our steel haulage . Additionally , we ’ ve just signed up to install solar panels at our head office , which , if successful , will be rolled out to other sites and we ’ re looking into battery technology so that we can store the generated energy for use when we need it . We obviously report on our emissions too and while some initiatives won ’ t be completed imminently , we ’ ll be making great strides over the next few years .
“ Looking to the future , we tend to approach growth conservatively and organically . If the right business comes up for acquisition , then we explore it as a possibility . We have no borrowing as a business and will invest as necessary . We ’ ve recently purchased a new site and are acquiring another that will enable us to double the size of our John Tainton business . We ’ re also hoping to get planning permission at Hall & Pickles for a purpose-built laser processing facility where we can install between four and six additional lasers . The construction and equipment will equate to a significant investment and is certainly a longer-term plan , over the next five-to-ten years . This development will dovetail with our sustainability initiatives , which will certainly keep us busy moving forwards ,” Matthew concludes .
