Cottonridge to install solar panels C
ottonridge has announced plans to install solar panels at its offices in Norton Canes and new 50,000sq ft warehouse in Stafford. The move is part of the company’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and increase its use of renewable energy. Richard Joyce, managing director of Cottonridge, said: “We are committed to do our part in the fight against climate change and transitioning to solar energy is a crucial step in that direction. Not only will it reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, but it will also help us save on energy costs in the long run. We hope that the solar panels will generate enough energy to power the entire operation of both locations, including lighting and heating.”

Cottonridge decided to install solar panels as not only is it good for the environment, but it also makes financial sense as the payback period on the investment is becoming increasingly short.
Recognition Express introduces new contemporary corporate identity
E
arlier in the year, Recognition Express introduced a new more contemporary and vibrant
corporate identity.
The new corporate identity retains the blue and orange colours of the original, but refreshed.
The iconic Recognition Express logo has served the business well over the years, but no longer reflects the dynamic business it has become and continues to be. Recognition Express was set up in 1979 to introduce the concept of corporate
name badges to Europe. The name meant ‘quick badges’.
While the business is still a market leader for identity products, Recognition Express has come a long way since then to become the branding consultant it is today.
A spokesman said: “The future of Recognition Express is looking as bright as our new identity and we look forward to working in partnership with or customers in 2023 to deliver innovative marketing solutions.”
