Manufacturing firm to reduce CO2 emissions by over 23,000kg a year

Birmingham based Bailey & Mackey Limited has committed to reducing carbon emissions by 23,731kg a year, by investing in solar panels and energy storage.

Bailey & Mackey manufacturers high-quality instrumentation, such as pressure switches, pressure gauges and pressure transducers. The deal between Bailey & Mackey and Experienced Energy Solutions (EES) is worth £500,000 and was supported by Azets, a UK Top 10 accounting firm.

Bailey & Mackey Limited worked with Experienced Energy Solutions (EES) to invest significantly in solar panels and energy storage to ensure its operations are fully powered by renewable energy. Excess energy that is produced through these systems will be sold back to the grid, generating further income for the firm.

David Saunders, Partner at Azets Walsall added: “Having had the discussion with the team at Bailey & Mackey around energy pricing and increases, it 's brilliant to see a solution to this wider problem, that fits with the business ' strategic plan.

“Working alongside EES allows us to encourage clients to move towards greener business practices, through innovative approaches. It 's been a pleasure to help the team at Bailey & Mackey to align further with their vision moving forward. ”

Commenting on the investment, Paul Topham from Bailey & Mackey said: “It was great to work with Azets ' recommendation of EES to finalise the deal of becoming more energy efficient at our existing site.

“This investment will be able to pay itself back in just four years, whilst allowing us to heavily reduce our carbon emissions and generate cash savings annually. The project sits in line with our strategic plan to develop as a sustainable and forward-thinking manufacturing firm. ”

Bailey & Mackey Limited is based in Birmingham with a history of over 70 years.
