Environment
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and are working closely with the Carbon Trust to achieve significant results across a number of areas. All staff are encouraged to put forward fuel saving, re-use and re-cycling initiatives. We are developing an ethos of thinking about the environment with every task we carry out. Wherever possible we will choose to work with suppliers and other partners who think in the same way, so that our customers can be confident that concrete steps have been taken to reduce the effect on the environment of the

Being located in the centre of London, we are very lucky to own an area of woodland close to our depot. This has been dedicated as a permanent wildlife sanctuary. Free from cultivation, chemicals and lacking any human intervention at all, this is a haven for wildlife and has a positive impact on the local air quality. It’s our way of giving something back to the local environment.
