Family owned Tideswell Welding Services Ltd undertakes welding & fabrication, mainly for heavy industry plant, quarries and agriculture. The company operates from its own purpose-built specialist workshop on Tideswell Moor, with provision to undertake extensive on-site repairs and fabrication.
A £10,381 Decarbonisation Grant helped the purchase of solar panels, encouraging green business growth and low carbon technologies and techniques. The company's energy bill has reduced by almost 50%.
Andrew Bettney (Managing Director) says:
Owing to the nature of our industry, we consumed a high volume of energy which we were very keen to reduce. With the help of the Decarbonisation Grant from Derbyshire Dales District Council, we were able to install solar panels onto the roof of our workshop.
