We all know we need to become more energy efficient as a nation, but it’s our nominees and winners who are at the forefront, often creating brilliant ways to help people save energy, cut bills and help the environment.”

Event organizer Kenneth Campbell said, “Our regional events recognize the efforts and efforts of everyone involved in the industry and the often unsung heroes driving energy efficiency in homes and businesses.” It’s important to highlight the work that is currently being done taking place in our industry and I’m sure there will be many Yorkshire companies and individuals represented at our national awards in September as well.” For more information on the awards visit www.energyefficiencyawards.co.uk
