Brammer stars in programme about ‘green’ business

INDUSTRIAL parts supplier Brammer will feature in a TV programme aimed at highlighting the importance of environmental considerations to the future of British business.

The group – dubbed the RAC of Industry – is based in Wythenshawe, in Greater Manchester, and supplies replacement factory parts such as bearings, belts, motors and gearboxes.

The half-hour programme, entitled ‘Building a Green Britain’, will be shown on The Business Channel – available on both Sky Digital and BBC/ ITV Freesat networks during May.

The programme is intended to highlight how industry can reduce its carbon emissions through implementing a range of measures, such as utilising more energy efficient technologies.

It will also examine the impact of the recently introduced Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency scheme (CRC).

Brammer will be appearing alongside Government ministers and officials, as well as representatives from the UK utilities industry.

Jeremy Salisbury of Brammer said: “Reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions are increasingly important areas for business to address, with many companies now having a regulatory commitment to meet for the first time with the introduction of the CRC.

“Whether covered by the some form of climate change regulation or not, the fact is that there are significant operational cost-savings available to companies through becoming more energy efficient.

“Much of our work with customers across all UK manufacturing sectors is aimed at helping them to improve their performance by reducing their energy costs and carbon emissions, through the selection and optimal maintenance of energy-efficient equipment such as high-efficiency motors and variable speed drives.

“We also work with them to ensure they get the best out of resources such as compressed air, which can often be misused and poorly maintained.”
