FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Belfast-based construction and facilities management businesses, Parr Group and Parr Facilities Management, have announced an investment of £1 million with the launch of a new specialist renewables company.
Creating over 20 new jobs, Parr Renewables Ltd. will collaborate with colleagues across the Parr teams to deliver tailored sustainable energy solutions alongside the building, facilities management and specialist services already provided to customers across the UK and Ireland.
Richard Livingston, Sales Director of Parr Renewables Ltd said: “The launch of Parr Renewables comes at a time when an increased uptake in renewable energy has never been more vital. With the recent surge in fossil fuel prices alongside the targets set for reducing carbon emissions, businesses are facing incredibly challenging times.
“We’d already experienced a significant increase in enquiries from existing customers on what measures they could take to improve their energy efficiency. This new venture means that we can now offer a seamless service for any firm wishing to take more control of its energy costs and lower its carbon footprint. By providing bespoke solutions through the installation of solar panels, battery storage and electrical vehicle (EV) charging, Parr Renewables can help businesses stabilise and reduce costs, removing reliance on fossil fuels, and securing energy sources for the future.”
This latest announcement comes just two months after the opening of a Scottish base which represents another step in the company’s national growth strategy and an investment of £500k.
FMJ in conjunction with Grundon Waste Management have launched the 2022 survey into how FMs approach their waste management and recycling responsibilities.
It’s the fifth year for the annual appraisal, and as we return to normal, there is a real opportunity for FMs to reappraise their waste and recycling operations and look at new, smarter waste management strategies.
In order to understand how FMs have navigated their way through the last year and their plans for meeting stringent waste and recycling targets we’ve posed a series of questions which include insights into FMs’ waste management strategy and targets, such as zero waste and landfill, the types of waste organisations produce and what helps FMs promote waste management in their organisations?
Please share your experiences and opinions on waste management. The survey will take just five minutes to complete, and as a thank you for taking part, respondents will be entered into a prize draw to win a £150 Amazon gift card.
