a unified system that delivers clear benefits for both our teams and our clients.”
Bringing in new technology is also an integral part of Adey’ s sustainability mission. Aiming to reach net zero by 2050, the company has numerous strategies in place to cut carbon emissions, as Andrew asserts:“ A lot of the work we do is focused on decarbonization. Most of the products that leave our factory are designed to target carbon reduction on behalf of our clients, and it’ s also an important mission for us internally.
“ Investing in smart technology has boosted our efficiency and reduced waste across the board, however there’ s still more work to be done. We’ ve brought in a more efficient heating system and switched to LED lighting across the shop floor and office spaces.
“ Beyond that, we’ ve invested in a fleet of electric vehicles and prioritize these when planning delivery and distribution. Our next
step will be to investigate adding solar panels to the facility,” he adds.
In the coming years, Adey will remain focused on its net-zero mission, while also remaining responsive to shifts throughout the industry. As Andrew reflects:“ It’ s important that we continue to seize new opportunities as they arise. Demand in the energy and water sectors is growing, and we’ re well positioned to strengthen our presence in these markets. At the same time, we’ ll maintain a strong focus on rail and transport, which continue to be key drivers of our growth.
“ Finally, we aim to manage our growth thoughtfully and deliberately. This company hasn’ t thrived for over 100 years by rushing to the finish line. We’ ll continue to take our time, stay true to our roots, and deliver a service we can be proud of,” he concludes. ■
