Lighting Refit for 27 Retail Branches of Car Parts and Tools Chain

Work completed on an LED lighting refit on the first of 27 branches across London, the East of England and beyond, offering significant financial savings and CO2 reduction for the business.

Background

Bennett’s is a family owned business, established in 1954 by the current director’s grandfather.

Their principal business is rooted within the automotive industry, satisfying the demand for car parts and tools to both trade and public, garages, main dealers, performance specialists and individual vehicle specialists.

With 27 branches in the UK, the company were looking to increase energy efficiency across all sites.

Annual Savings

Beginning with the location of their head office in Welwyn Garden City, we completed a refit and the fantastic result in improved lighting quality, as well as the impressive projected future savings, secured Airis Energy Solutions’ partnership with Bennett’s, with the rest of the branches scheduled for a 2020 refit.

Testimonial Fairhaven Golf Club

Following several recommendations, we engaged with Airis to deliver a solar project here at Fairhaven Golf Club. As an organisation, we prioritise sustainability throughout our working practices and to partner with a company that shared these values was most beneficial to the process. The project will see our annual grid consumption reduce by over 12% resulting in around 21,000 kWh of energy each year being generated. During the planning stages, we encountered several issues which the team at Airis helped to resolve. Their understanding, flexibility and practice applications made the whole process seamless. We could not recommend Airis more highly.

The change to LED has been a switch we’ve been considering for a few years. It was just a matter of finding the right partner with the expertise to deliver it across all our sites. Airis Energy Solutions not only made it happen, but they upgraded 29 of our sites simultaneously with upfront costs kept to a bare minimum. The results speak for themselves.

Testimonial Hambleton Primary Academy, Over Wyre

We sourced Airis Energy Solutions alongside the Green Business Fund / Carbon Trust to install a full school LED Smart Lighting system. All our lighting was extremely outdated and was failing more frequently, at a significant cost each time. There is no capital outlay and the installation of new lights was a very efficient process, with all the old lighting being taken off-site afterwards. It has significantly improved the appearance around school, has reduced our maintenance costs to zero, reduced our CO2 emissions and will reduce our energy consumption over time.

To the Airis team. Just to let you know that we’re really happy with the work and the difference in the quality of the lighting. Your guys were a credit to you with their work ethic, getting so much done at night and also over weekends. I am more than happy to recommend your services in the future.

Testimonial RAP Spiderweb LTD, Manchester

From start to finish Dave and his colleagues were fantastic to deal with. Very straight forward and completely transparent about the service. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and would happily recommend Airis to anyone who is interested. We had no disruption to our very busy factory and the fitters could not do enough. All in all, an excellent job!

As a business owner, I’m always trying to save money. It wasn’t until I worked with Airis Energy Solutions that I realised just how much money I was needlessly spending on energy. Thank-you.

I would be more than happy to recommend the Airis scheme and service. We have had all our lighting replaced with the Airis scheme, with this we have had no outlay or cost to ourselves.We are delighted with the results and would therefore recommend Airis to other businesses like ourselves.

This is fantastic. Well done to everyone especially Andy S, Kathy, Chris, Paul and the Airis team on the ground. You have all worked really hard to get the lights in and I am conscious that you have worked across the Easter weekend to get this done, thank you I appreciate this. There has been minimal disruption to our customers and our teams. Great work really pleased with the results!
