CASE STUDY: SOLARWALL WARMS UP RESIDENTS OF FOTHERGIL HOMES
Solarwall has installed free cavity wall insulation and loft insulation to 44 houses in the Fothergil Homes sheltered almshouse housing, to enable its residents to reduce fuel bills and reduce CO2 emissions. Fothergil Homes is based at Clifton, York, and the installation is being funded by a government initiated grant by npower. Solarwall works in partnership with local authorities, regional energy saving schemes and utilities to deliver energy efficiency to many different projects like this in the Yorkshire region. The company actively promotes grant aided schemes to householders and grants of up to 100% are available to those on low incomes or receiving certain income related benefits. Fothergil resident Jean Crook, aged 75, said: “It’s much warmer since we’ve had the insulation put in. The men at Solarwall were really nice, polite and smartly dressed! They cleaned up after themselves and got on with it!” Richard Watson, Clerk to York City Charities, explained: “The cost of fuel often hits the headlines, particularly with the arrival of winter and elderly people on low incomes are likely to be the worst affected. Insulation is a simple way to help reduce the loss of heat in the home and this is why we approached Solarwall to install loft and cavity wall insulation at Fothergil. The carbon footprint of the development is now substantially reduced keeping the residents warm and cosy this winter.”

NORTHERN INSULATION COMPANIES ‘HOT UP’ AWARDS WITH TRIO OF WINS
York-based Solarwall and Newcastle- based KNW swept the board at the National Insulation Association (NIA) awards, scooping up a trio of wins. Solarwall received the long service award along with best PR campaign for the industry and KNW picked up the best customer service award. The awards are a new feature of the NIA conference and are designed to recognise and reward best practice. The annual event was held at The Belfry Hotel, near Birmingham on Wednesday 9th December, with a record number of delegates for the third year running. Representatives from across the insulation industry attended (solid wall insulation, cavity wall insulation, loft insulation and draft proofing). This year’s speakers included: David Kidney MP, Department of Energy and Climate Change; Phillip Sellwood, Chief Executive of the Energy Saving Trust; Andrew Warren, Director for the Association for the Conservation of Energy; and Dr Garry Felgate, Chief Executive of the Energy Retail Association. The long service award is an accolade to Solarwall’s 30 years in the industry. Established in 1977, managing director Sue Lamb and her team have grown the Clifton-based company into a thriving business specialising in energy efficiency with a turnover of £6 million and 100 employees serving 100,000 customers across Yorkshire, South Humberside and Teesside. Earlier this year Solarwall took the decision to employ PR specialists Trimedia to take the company forward and help communicate the benefits of its key insulation and renewable energy products. This is paying off already and the award for best PR campaign highlights how far the company has come in raising its profile within the media and the marketplace. Sue Lamb, managing director of Solarwall, comments: “2009 has been a challenging year for the insulation industry and we are delighted to end the year on a positive note. The two award wins demonstrate our reputation and longevity within the marketplace and I am looking forward to facing the challenges of a new year with the same drive and resilience.” Ken Middlemass, chairman and executive director of KNW, comments: “This year has been a very challenging for the industry and the economy as a whole but it is heartening to see KNW and Solarwall beating the challenge. Bringing these awards to the North has been a fantastic achievement and shows that the North can weather the storm by continuing to provide exceptional standards of service and business in the region.”
