Vickers Honoured as International Green World Ambassadors

Vickers Energy Group, based in Manchester, were honoured as International Green World Ambassadors at a special ceremony on Monday November 10th 2014 at the Houses of Parliament, London.
 
This recognition comes as a result of the environmental success of their Energy Management Project, which won a Green Apple Environment Award, presented at The Crystal, London last June.
 
As a result of that success, Vickers Energy Group were invited to have their winning paper published in The Green Book, the world’s only annual work of reference on environmental best practice that is distributed to environment professionals, universities and libraries around the world by The Green Organisation.
 
The award judges commented: “Through their advanced energy management systems and control software, Vickers Energy Group are dedicated to saving business energy costs, by as much as 60%. This not only increases profit but improves environmental credentials of the companies who use their services. Over 10 years, customers use of gas has been reduced by 10.5billion kWh and CO2 emissions by 2million tonnes and this has also earned them the Queens Award for Environmental Achievement.”
 
David Hilton from Vickers Energy said: "Being recognised for our work by such a prestigious body is an amazing achievement for Vickers.  It's testament to the work carried out by the company, and the genuine savings that we generate for our clients as well as the reduction of the environmental impact of their business."
 
The winning paper now goes forward for further judging and the possibility of representing the UK in the Brussels-led European Business Awards for the Environment.
 
The Green Apple Awards are one of the few environmental schemes in Britain that have official status to act as an automatic feeder scheme into the European campaign.
