Phase 5 of the Government’s Low Carbon Skills Fund has been announced.  This Funding is aimed at helping public sector organisations engage the specialist and expert advice and skills required to put in place or improve an existing heat decarbonisation plan.

Applications will open on 17th April at 2pm, and will be closed two weeks after the portal opens on 1^st May at 2pm.

Our team has a proven track record of helping clients successfully secure funding through this programme, such as Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue.  We are confident we can do the same for your organisation.

Our experienced team can provide tailored advice and recommendations on the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint and transition to more sustainable heating solutions, as well as designing low-carbon mechanical and electrical systems that are customised to your organisation’s needs.

We urge you to take advantage of this opportunity and act quickly to secure your application. Don’t miss out on the chance to access funding that can help your organisation become more sustainable and reduce your carbon footprint.

Please contact Head of Net Zero UK, Matthew Pickford to discuss this further on 0161 393 9310 or email: m.pickford@netzerouk.com 

We’re marking one year since we became a carbon-neutral company.

We are proud to say that we have maintained our carbon-negative status in accordance with the global PAS 2060 standard for 2023.

Upon our certification in January 2023, we were able to further reduce our carbon footprint by 4.5 tonnes of carbon in gas usage, 4.5 tonnes of carbon in business travel and 1.2 tonnes of carbon in commuting and home working. This data covers our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, resulting in a cumulative total of 62.057 tCO2. This is a total saving of 7.263 tC02 compared to the previous year.

We remain committed to reducing the carbon impact of every project we deliver. For instance, we have recently identified decarbonisation strategies for various buildings in a site-wide decarbonisation masterplan for Buckinghamshire New University and have identified decarbonisation strategies for the Royal Oldham General Hospital that will be used as a long-term strategic roadmap for the hospital to follow over the next 15-20 years.

We are proud to have achieved this status for the second year, as it is an essential part of our net-zero journey.  We are committed to following its criteria year-on-year.
