HAT-TRICK
Warm edge pioneers
Edgetech have been short-
listed for Company of the
Year at the Coventry Tele-
graph Business Awards.
The annual event, started
by the long-running Coven-

exists to celebrate success,
recognise achievement and
showcase Warwickshire’s
most outstanding and inno-

Energy Award 2017 for the
facility BPF/F00150 within
the Climate Change Agree-
ment. The award was given
in recognition of the com-

commitment to energy re-
duction throughout its state

plant where all main profile
systems are produced.
In previous years the
award was solely based
around improvement
in the Climate Change
Agreement (CCA) Specific
Energy Consumption (SEC).
However, for the past two
years the award has had a
bias towards an absolute
energy reduction criterion
at facility level. As such, it
is a mark of the success of
the major investment made
by Epwin Window Systems

the National Fenestration
Awards.

million pounds in expand-
