National planning consultancy Boyer (part of Leaders Romans Group) has reopened its Midlands office, based at Cedar Business Park, Normanton on Soar, Loughborough following a re-fit with sustainability at its heart.
Boyer’s Loughborough sustainable office features solar panels, a biomass boiler and EV chargers.
It has sustainable carpets and hard flooring made from 65% recycled material and low volatile organic compounds paint. Waste to landfill is minimised through an organised recycling and compostable waste system.
Acknowledging the importance of the circular economy, Boyer will be re-using much of its original furniture and fittings. At the point at which these items are replaced, the same sustainable principles will be followed.
David Hutchinson, director and head of Boyer’s Midlands office, said: “We are delighted to be the first of Boyer’s six offices to have undertaken a sustainable re-fit.
“As planning consultants, we understand the impact brought about by climate change and our work is focussed on delivering sustainability through the built environment. So its entirely apt that we used this opportunity for a re-fit to put our strongly-held principles into practice in our own building.
“The expansion of this office has resulted in the creation of the first regional hub accommodating our Land, Planning and New Homes services in a single office. This will enable collaboration between these linked services to better serve our clients and to help secure further growth across the region.”
This, Boyer’s first sustainable refurbishment, is one of many within Leaders Romans Group (LRG), which is refitting many of its branches across its estate agency brands to focus on energy efficiency and recycling.
