Energy minister in talks with Anglian
on ‘greening’ Britain’s homes
The UK’s largest home improvement
company, Anglian Home Improvements,
opened its doors on 1 April to Greg Barker
MP, Minister of State at the Department
of Energy & Climate Change (DECC), for
talks on improving the energy efficiency of
Britain’s homes.
The breakfast meeting took place at
Anglian’s head office in Norwich, where the
government minister and senior executives
from Anglian Home Improvements were
joined by Chloe Smith, MP for Norwich
North. Key areas of discussion included the
Green Deal initiative and proposed changes
to the Energy Companies Obligation (ECO)
scheme.
Following the meeting, Greg Barker MP
was given a tour of the Norwich factory where
he was shown the latest developments in
manufacturing and technology to boost energy
efficiency in the home.
Energy and Climate Change Minister
Greg Barker said, “Green Deal and ECO are
36
MAY 2014
helping hard working families across Britain
cut their energy bills and improve their
homes.
“Double glazing has huge potential to be
part of the growing Green Deal market. As
market leader, Anglian will be a key part of
this growth and I was hugely impressed by the
vision of the Anglian team and production
facility.”
Laurence Vaughan, Executive Chairman
at Anglian Home Improvements, said,
“Improving energy efficiency in the home
has long been a key focus for Anglian, which
is why we were one of the first companies
that signed up to deliver the Green Deal
scheme. The government shares this objective
so it is important that DECC and industry
leaders work together to make sure we’re all
pushing in the same direction. We are pleased
to be given this opportunity to work with
the government to improve the efficiency of
British homes.”
Established in 1966, Anglian Home
Improvements has a large manufacturing base
in Norwich covering over 300,000 square
feet and is responsible for the employment of
4,500 people across the UK.
