usband-and-wife entrepreneurs Uisdean and Marina Fraser are planning to make 2017 as memorable and successful as the previous
12 months in business. In 2016, Synergie Environ moved into its new offices in Glasgow, was in the process of opening an outpost in Dubai and won Te Glasgow Business Award for Best Performing Business (1-10 employees), sponsored by Glasgow City Council, all helping to build company growth. Synergie Environ, set up in 2009, has
enjoyed increasing success in the past 18 months with an increase of more than 80 per cent in turnover. Te business has rapidly built a reputation for high-quality, specialist technical advice to clients, underpinned by the development of engineering solutions. “Our portfolio currently includes a
multi-million-pound anaerobic digestion (AD) project (with gas to grid) and a two-year contract to deliver low-carbon district heating projects across Scotland,” said Marina. A recently completed project, which
also includes the additional elements of a combined heat and plant and biogas boiler, resulted in the whey from the First Milk
process plant at Aspatria in Cumbria being processed through AD technology to produce high quantities of biomethane which have been connected to the national gas grid. Synergie Environ is also managing the
development of a new AD facility on behalf of a whisky client in the Highlands of Scotland. Te project will develop a new bespoke AD plant to process the liquid co-products from the distillery to produce clean water which will get returned to the existing river system and gas to be used in an onsite CHP plant. “One of our key goals has been to form
strategic partnerships with key players in the market who have identified our specialist team as being market leaders in these two fields. Coupled with this development we have also continued to expand in other areas such as the circular economy and large-scale industrial energy efficiency,” said Marina. “In our sectors, we have rapidly established
ourselves as one of the leading players in the UK, regularly winning contracts in competition with global consultancies,” she added. Aſter an opportunity, created by Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, to meet
representatives of the Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZA), Marina and Uisdean visited Dubai with a view to seting up a venture. Tis office will act as a base for their business interests in the Middle and Far East. Uisdean said: “We believe there is a great
opportunity in the Middle and Far East area for our in-house engineering experts to apply our market leading success in district heating and cooling to this design. “We see our target markets as
predominantly being in the development of low-carbon energy solutions to new construction and refit programmes.” With a team of highly-skilled engineers
in-house, Synergie Environ is in an excellent position to advise clients on best options for energy efficiency and lowering carbon emissions, along with the potential for deployment of renewables technologies. Uisdean also appeared as spokesman for
Glasgow’s emerging businesses at the 19th State of the Economy Conference in Glasgow. Te conference, run by Glasgow City Council, featured speeches from political leaders and key industry experts with Uisdean speaking about energy innovation for the city.
