01/04/09 - Thomas Vale Launch Sustainable Technologies Partnership
The launch, attended by guest speaker England football player Bryan Robson who spoke about his own success through teamwork, enabled clients, which included guests from housing associations, schools and sports facilities, to understand renewable technologies from design through to installation.
The launch was very informative and has certainly widened my knowledge on renewable energies and its impact potential for society. It was also fantastic to meet Bryan Robson, a football legend. Thank you for a truly memorable day.

The partnership will offer a one stop shop to deliver sustainable technologies, including micro generation and distributed energy to clients across the Midlands, covering a range of technologies such as air source heat pumps, biomass boilers and combined heat and power systems. The push among public sector bodies towards renewable energies has been caused by recent government legislation requiring organisations such as local authorities and housing associations to contribute to the UK’s ambitious environmental targets to reduce carbon emissions. Thomas Vale also highlighted the benefits investment in sustainable technology could bring to society as well as the local job market.
Thomas Vale renewable technologies director Paul Dockerill said: “If there is one thing that will not change during the current economic climate it is the need to address fuel poverty and to provide affordable sustainable energy for the future. At Thomas Vale we have created the opportunity to bring together in partnership leading companies who are able to utilise their expertise to benefit the West Midlands by developing a strategic approach to renewable technologies.”
