James Hargreaves transforms its main head office and national warehouse site
James Hargreaves is proud to be the UK’s largest independent plumbers merchant, with 73 Plumbing Supplies branches nationwide that provide unrivalled service and top-quality plumbing, heating, and bathroom products. We are also Low-Carbon Heating Specialists and training providers, helping consumers save energy and protect the planet.
A commitment to sustainability
James Hargreaves has achieved a significant low carbon milestone: its Burnley site, which is now close to net-zero carbon.
Powering the future
This major step towards net-zero transformation was made possible by the installation of 491 Lomi 415 solar panels across four rooftops. These panels, coupled with two Solis 3-phase inverters, generate clean energy to power the entire site, including buildings, equipment, and vehicles.
Partnering for a greener future
Centreco, the UK’s leading installer of solar energy systems for business, played a crucial role in the installation process. Based in Chorley, their expertise and commitment to sustainability were instrumental in bringing this project to fruition. Throughout the project, they had a team of 5 engineers on site to complete the work.
Leading the way
David Eddison, Operations Director at James Hargreaves, expressed his pride in this achievement, stating, “This is a significant step towards a more sustainable future, and we’re excited to lead the way in our industry, not only through our own operations but also by equipping installers with the knowledge and resources they need to contribute to the UK’s low carbon future.”
As James Hargreaves continues to innovate and grow, it remains dedicated to sustainability and environmental responsibility. This latest achievement solidifies the company’s position as a leader in the industry and sets the stage for a more sustainable future.
