Whilst we have no full-time sustainability personnel, we do have an incredibly enthusiastic workforce led by a committed management team, which is so important if your strategies are to generate positive actions.”


Ann went on to say that the firm had made significant investments to reduce their impact on the planet including installing solar panels on their office roofs, installing EV charging points for staff and more environmentally friendly heating and ventilation systems where possible.
The firm, which operates out of 5 offices across the East of England and Midlands has been successful in a number of awards for their sustainability work.
Ann continued:
“It’s not just about the awards, but it is nice to have the efforts of everyone in the firm recognised by external parties. We still have a long way to go, but national recognition encourages us that we are taking many of the right steps in our sustainability journey.”
