We’ve been awarded a grant from East Suffolk Rural Prosperity Fund
We’re excited to announce that we’ve been awarded a significant grant of £30,000 from the East Suffolk Rural Prosperity Fund. This funding will be used to purchase a brand new electric flexi forklift truck, significantly enhancing our operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
The REPF initiative
Launched in September 2022, the REPF is a government program dedicated to boosting the rural economy and empowering rural communities. East Suffolk Council, utilising its REPF allocation, offers capital grants to small businesses like ours to invest in projects that promote both growth and environmental responsibility.
A greener, more efficient future
The new electric forklift truck represents a major step forward in our commitment to sustainability. Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air and a reduced carbon footprint. This aligns perfectly with the REPF’s focus on supporting businesses that embrace clean technologies and strive for net zero emissions.
Beyond environmental benefits
Electric forklifts offer several advantages over traditional combustion engine models. They are quieter, reducing noise pollution in the workplace. Additionally, electric forklifts require less maintenance, resulting in lower operating costs over time.
Investing in a sustainable future
This grant award is a testament to our ongoing commitment to operating a sustainable and efficient business. We believe that environmental responsibility is not just important, it’s a smart business decision. By embracing clean technologies like the electric forklift, we’re not only minimising our environmental impact but also making a smart investment in our long-term growth and profitability.
We’d like to thank East Suffolk Council for their support through the East Suffolk Rural Prosperity Fund. This grant is instrumental in helping us achieve our sustainability goals and contribute to a more prosperous future for our business and the community.
