The Rolton Group has recently replaced the lighting in its Higham Ferrers office with low-carbon, motion sensor installations in an effort to further reduce its carbon footprint.
These hi-tech pieces of equipment switch off automatically if they don’t detect any movement, so rooms only light up when they need to.
In addition to these in-house measures, the company has also arranged the planting of young broadleaf trees at Cwm Fagor and Clydach near Devauden in Monmouthshire, Wales. These trees will offset 20 tonnes of CO2 emissions produced by electricity consumed by the lights over the next five years, and each tree that lives for 100 years is forecast to sequester a full tonne of CO2.
The Rolton Group is committed to operating within a paperless and energy efficient environment and we are pleased to demonstrate this ethos through schemes like this.
Rolton have steadily developed our work and commitment to the North East region over the last few years through our Newcastle office and we were pleased to move our team to a new city central location in 2024. We are therefore delighted to reinforce this commitment by joining the NewcastleGateshead Initiative as a Corporate Partner for 2025.
As we approach the end of the year and the holidays, we reflect on a year full of expansion and growth and look forward to 2025.
With more than 44 years of Rolton this year has seen us developing our business internally and externally, strengthening the board, refreshing the brand, expanding the office network and sharing our thought leadership.
Rolton is proud to become a member of More Than a Building, an extraordinary network of architects, developers, engineers, contractors and others from the construction sector who are creating better futures around the world, in partnership with charity Article 25.
