At the end of last year Imageco received part funding from the European Regional Development Fund and the Northern Powerhouse Growth Deal to replace the remaining half of its 2800m2 factory with LED lighting – an investment that MD Nathan Swinson Bullough says will pay for itself in three years. More importantly, he adds, it equates to another huge reduction in the company’s CO2 emissions. The point of telling you this is that, as he recently pointed out to his LinkedIn pals, there are lots of grants available for projects like this – so as customers focus more on the environmental credentials of their supply chain perhaps now’s a good time to investigate?
