Stephen Tishler,
Director of Café Pacifico

“With an interest free loan of £12,755, we were able to install more efficient cooking and refrigeration systems in our London restaurant. As a result, we’ve not only increased our quality and service, we’re saving around £4,000 a year in energy costs. Once the loan’s paid off, those savings will go straight to our bottom line. What’s more, we’ve reduced our carbon footprint into the bargain.”

Kevin Buck,
Director of Synergy Plastics

“With an interest free loan of £100,000, we were able to afford a more energy efficient injection moulding machine. The new machine is not only faster, the improved efficiency means we’re saving around £45,000 in electricity costs each year. So we’ve been able to increase production and profitability at the same time.”

“As for our annual carbon footprint, it’s down by around 77 tonnes of carbon a year.”

Paul Rooney,
Managing Director of Europanel UK

“Heating our MDF factory used to cost us around £15,000 a year. We realised we could use our waste wood for fuel instead - and got an interest free loan of £59,200 to help towards a new heating system. So now we’re saving every penny of that £15,000, and we’ve reduced our carbon emissions by 32 tonnes a year too.”

Philippa Craig,
Group Financial Accountant at Feathers Hotel and Catering Group

“Across our eight hotels, increased energy costs had pushed our annual energy bill to around £500,000. After having a carbon survey, the Carbon Trust gave us a list of energy saving recommendations that would cost £45,000 to implement, with a payback period of under six months. So far we’ve reduced our energy consumption by 24% - and we still haven’t finished implementing the Carbon Trust’s suggestions.”

Duncan Gibson,
Managing Director at Abel & Cole

“As a retailer of organic and ethically sourced foods, understanding our carbon footprint was very important to us. But while we were growing fast, so were our energy bills - £100,000 a year and climbing. So we asked the Carbon Trust for a carbon survey. Their simple recommendations cut our energy bill by 40 per cent in the first year, saving us nearly £40,000, whilst at the same time reducing our carbon footprint by 70 tonnes of carbon.”

Mark Williams,
Managing Director of the Waterside Leisure Club

“With a large heated pool, as well as our ventilation and air conditioning requirements, we spend around £62,000 per year on energy, and emit about 92 tonnes of carbon. A carbon survey from the Carbon Trust has shown us how to reduce our bill by about 15% without compromising our members’ comfort - which will save around £10,000 a year. ”
