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.
