  • Recycling of glass / jars / bottles
  • Refurbishment of fittings and stone gravels where applicableRe-use of packaging

Managing Director, Geoff Nemec is a Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) and Chartered Water and Environmental Manager (C.WEM), qualifications that demonstrate the highest level of professional recognition that can be achieved by practitioners within the water and environmental sectors.

Having commissioned a detailed independent environmental audit, the follow up report concluded that we had taken significant steps to recycle materials used by the business on a day to day basis and that we were taking a responsible approach to reducing our carbon footprint.

To help with the local environment, we have also adopted a section of the River Calder in and we are committed to taking part in regular clean up campaigns run by Calder Future.
