Willard’s quality engineering ensures their products are long-lasting and environmentally responsible.
Paul Willard, Managing Director, said:
“We embraced the opportunity of being able to generate our own electricity via a PV solar installation, we combined this with the installation of LED lighting & added insulation throughout our workshops which has resulted in us becoming very nearly 100% self sufficient. I would encourage all businesses to conduct a sustainability review it can actually result in long term cost savings whilst significantly improving the environment.”
