The best ‘green’ business
Isleworth, UK-based Ormiston Wire has
been awarded the Hounslow Business
Award for Best Green Business.
The award recognises the company’s
ongoing commitment to environmental
policy and sustainability procedures.
The wire manufacturer has previously
been commended with the Queen’s
Award for its achievements in
sustainable development.
The company initially introduced
cost-reducing energy efficiency measures
at the beginning of the 1990s. Over two
decades later, the wire manufacturer
has developed its environmental
sustainability measures still further,
which includes the implementation
of new energy saving technology
and instilling an ethical ethos in the
workforce. The measures it has
introduced include installing light
bulbs with motion sensors, recycling
at every opportunity and utilising a
high-efficiency condensing gas boiler.
These changes have led to annual
energy savings of tens of thousands of
pounds.
“I’m delighted Ormiston Wire has
won this award, which recognises
our continuous commitment to
environmental sustainability in the
manufacturing process,” said Mark
Ormiston, managing director.
“Ormiston Wire regards excellent
environmental sustainability alongside
delivering outstanding customer service
as a core business priority. We
understand the benefits of adopting
sustainable business practices and how
it can positively affect both the planet
and profits.”
The annual Hounslow Business
Awards are developed and organised
by Hounslow Chamber of Commerce
and celebrate the achievements of both
small and large local businesses. The
Best Green Business Award required
nominees to best demonstrate how
its green and sustainability ethos and
practices positively contributed towards
carbon reduction, recycling policy and
the promotion and adoption of green
innovation and technologies.
