Clive Meredith, Practice Director commented,
“As members of Planet Mark we’ve committed the firm to a year-on-year reduction in our carbon footprint of 5%. As part of our strategy, we knew solar would play a vital part in our ongoing reductions. Working with Your Eco UK, and Roger Blake from Bristol and West Properties, we have a system that more than meets our energy needs. With the incredible weather we’ve been having we’ve been exporting 70% back to the grid. We’re extremely grateful to be working with such progressive landlords on this project whose environmental aspirations align perfectly with our own.”
