The company has put in place five double chargers for use by all staff, contractors and visitors. Two have been set up at its Curzon Lodge Transport Depot and head office, and one at its Brassington Moor Quarry entrance.

Longcliffe Group MD Paul Boustead says: “We are continually looking at ways of managing our environmental impact and making our business more sustainable and this goes beyond our site operations. We are investigating renewable fuels for our fleet and now encouraging employees to look at non-fossil fuel options for their own vehicles.”

In addition, the installation of the charging points, the company has also announced a commitment to move its small fleet of company cars over to electric power as the vehicles come up for renewal.
