Taurus Littrow

Taurus Littrow are a local business who produce specialist solar shading (Brise Soleil) to address the growing need for for improved energy management in the working environment.

Here we see their shields on the walls of the new Magistrates Court in Loughborough.

Every part of these units are designed and manufactured by Taurus Littrow. They were keen for me to record the details as well as the "Grand Design".


Also in Loughborough these vertical blinds are on the Sir Richard Morris building at the university. The blinds move with the sun. So keeping the windows in shade.

GWIBS 247 Environmental Policy

Today I had an interesting PR job for a local hi-tech company.

They've entered a National Environmental competition for businesses. I had to take interesting pictures to demonstrate their environmental policy.

One of their most interesting actions was to give each member of staff their own named mug. This action has saved them buying 2000 plastic mug a MONTH! Saving both cost and plastic being thrown away!

Each GWIBS driver is equipped with a fully functional PDA. This is in constant contact with HO so keeping track of staff and stock. Jobs can be billed immediately and no paper is used.

GWIBS run a fleet of variable size vans; Small, Medium and Large. Vans are allocated to a job depending on the need of the job. So saving un-necessary fuel consumption.

 

GWIBS Staff are also encouraged to participate in a government sponsored scheme to supply staff with bicycles. 95% of the staff live close to the business and so using bicycles saves car miles.

GWIBS managers regularly review their performance against their environmental targets.

Urban Shoot-out

This week Anne & I spent a day in Liverpool with Zoe Richards (winner of numerous Environmental portraiture awards) and some of her models.
Zoe has the use of some wonderful derilict buildings, just perfect for this style of portraiture.
We shall be offering similar portrature opportunities to our clients here in the East Midlands.
