ENDURANCE WIND POWER Endurance Wind Power, which presented the award to Earthmill, designs, manufactures and tests some of the most advanced wind turbines in the world and has more than 600 installed across the UK.
POPULAR OPTION
Farm-scale turbines are becoming an increasingly popular option for farmers and landowners as the efficiency of turbines continues to improve. “There is an army of farmers who have become small, independent power generators,” said Steve. “It’s a win-win situation because not only do strategically-located farm turbines help UK farmers lower their energy bills, reduce CO2 emissions and diversify their business income, but they are also making a significant contribution to decreasing our reliance on fossil fuels.”
YEAR ON YEAR BUSINESS GROWTH Since starting out in 2009 from Steve Milner’s garage in Yorkshire, Earthmill has grown to employ 36 staff and has an annual turnover of £13m. The company relocated to a new head office in Wetherby last year.
HELPING CLIENTS RESOLVE PLANNING ISSUES
The business scooped the Endurance Wind Power ‘UK dealer of the year’ award for its outstanding customer service and expertise in helping clients resolve planning issues.
Steve Milner, Managing Director of Earthmill, said: “Being named dealer of the year is a really big deal for us – and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire Earthmill team.”
And added: “We pride ourselves on our great customer service. There can be many challenges involved in the process of installing a wind turbine, from the planning stages to getting the turbine up, running and generating green energy, so it really pays to have an experienced and tenacious team on your side.
“We always go the extra mile to overcome problems along the way, which has resulted in the 66 turbines we successfully installed last year alone!”
