Our Bromley Branch takes home a green gong at the Bromley Environmental Awards:
Last Friday (26th June) our Bromley branch won a prestigious accolade in the Business Environment category for building energy efficient design, renewable energy installations, energy management and landscape biodiversity measures at the Borough of Bromleys Environment Awards, 2009.
Bromleys Mayor, Councillor Douglas Auld hosted an evening celebrating sustainability in the Council Chamber and its lush gardens which houses a moat, a marvellous duck house and fountain accented by a live orchestra and on a beautiful summers evening.
Environmental champion, Alistair McGowan presented our very own Scott Mackenzie and Aaron Bekir with the Business Environment trophy and commented Can you build one of your stores near my house please?.

This program of The World Bank’s Praxis Discussion series focuses on the role of energy in international development. Experts discuss the best policies for implementing renewable energy systems, and explore how a clean, reliable source of energy can do more than just light a home.
Mark Diesendorf teaches Environmental Studies at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He was formerly Professor of Environmental Science at the University of Technology, Sydney and a principal research scientist with CSIRO where he was involved in early research on integrating wind power into electricity grids.
Diesendorf currently serves on the editorial boards of several international scholarly journals. His most recent book is Greenhouse Solutions with Sustainable Energy.
