David Stuart, managing director and owner, said: “Weʼve aimed to adopt clean energy for some years but had not been able to find a suitable provider. “One of our new staff members was able to spend the time researching the green energy market and weʼve been very pleased with the change to 100% renewables. While it had to make sense operationally, it was mainly driven by our ethos of
