Announcing a new energy partnership with Good Energy!

matt — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 08:53:30 +0000

So we’re really chuffed to announce that we’ve now got a fantastic new energy partner for our business in the form of Good Energy. With our specially designed Cargocycles and Electric Vans, we’re driving down the impact of ‘last mile’ delivery in the city.

But while electric vehicles cut emissions, it’s vitally important to take responsibility for how the electricity we use to power them is generated. That’s why we’ve chosen Good Energy to be our supplier. Unique in the energy industry, all their electricity comes from renewable sources, generated by a growing community of over 10,000 independent producers across the country. We’re proud to join hundreds of pioneering businesses and organisations helping to change the way the UK generates and uses energy, for good.
