Policies & Initiatives
From 2020 we will plant a tree with the World Land Trust for every order you place to offset our carbon emissions and reduce carbon footprint.
In a busy summer season that is over 50 trees planted in 3 months - with each tree absorbing 48 pounds of CO2 per year these will help absorb nearly 2,4 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere when fully grown - or enough to offset an entire year worth of emissions created from driving a family car for eight average households.
Our Green Initiative
We are incredibly proud of being a part of the lives of many of our clients through the work that we do and are forever grateful for the trust they put in us. Due to the nature of our work we drive a lot and hold a fleet of both heavy and light industrial vehicles. While we may not be able to switch to electric for some time while the science catches up with the demand for engines that are able to travel further on a single charge we are doing our best to stay as environmentally friendly as we can.
Our minimum spend policies are not there just to make sure the delivery charges always remain fair and our workload balanced, but also because we are able to deliver larger orders in a single lorry rather than multiple vans and minimise the emissions we produce, while making sure you have everything you need.
With over 100 events each year we are hoping to offset over 5 tonnes of CO2 which is an equivalent of the carbon footprint of making 416kg of hard cheese, producing 31,250 bottles of water and sending 125,000 emails.
How It Works?
Once the summer peak season is over we will make a contribution to the World Land Trust equal to the number of events we took on in the previous 12 months. You will receive an email from us with the confirmation of the donation thanking you for helping us keep our planet a little greener and cooler.
Supporting Our NHS
We want to give back to the people behind the National Health Service and are pleased to offer a 10% discount to all NHS front line workers. Doctors, nurses, midwives, carers, dentists, porters and administration managers to name a few who work tirelessly every day around the clock to keep us safe and have risked their lives during the coronavirus pandemic.
We believe they are the backbone of the NHS and to give back and say thank you we have launched a new discount policy for those who work on the front line. You do not need to be a medical professional in order to be eligible, but you do need to work in the hospital/carehome/medical centre setting.
How it works?
Please do email us with your NHS card and let us know about what you do in your role when getting in touch about placing an order. We will apply a 10% discount on all of the items you hire with us - please note that the order would still need to be within our minimum spend to be eligible for delivery.
If you have a question about any of our policies please do get it touch with us for help
