 Firstly, Happy New Year from all at powerPerfector. We hope that your 2012 proves to be enjoyable, prosperous and green.
Over the last 10 years we have helped our clients save over £100 million. As a result, people have been highly complimentary about powerPerfector.
There is no more powerful endorsement than that of a third party. So we thought we'd kick off the New Year by updating and relaunching our client testimonial booklet to include the latest comments from the likes of Waitrose, Marston's and the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. It now features well over 100 separate client quotes.
We lead the industry in terms of standards, savings, reliability and quality. But please don't just take our word for it.

Time to act as Salix Funding is relaunched
In December, Salix Finance announced a further £20 million of interest-free loan funding for public sector bodies in England (excluding Central Government).
The funding, available on a first come first served basis, is for energy efficiency projects and is repayable in eight instalments over four years.
The majority of VPO applications meet the qualifying standards and we will be able to assist you with completing the application and compliance tool.
Applications are needed by the end of March 2012 and as public sector energy efficiency funding has been scarce recently, we expect the number of applications to be very high - so time is of the essence for getting applications in.

The results are Inn
With operating costs as much as 60 per cent of turnover, cutting costs is vital for the survival of the pub trade.
Marston's first trialled two powerPerfector units in 2010. After exceeding the predicted savings VPO has been rapidly installed at 20 suitable sites across the managed pub estate. The programme is saving 353 tonnes of CO2 annually and has helped the business earn the Carbon Trust Standard.

Making Rhyl good savings
Making schools more sustainable is central to government aims to reduce carbon emissions by at least 80 per cent by 2050.
We have installed VPO at dozens of schools helping to reduce cost and carbon during difficult financial times.
After Denbighshire County Council sent its annual electricity consumption details for Rhyl High School, it was possible to give a provisional quote for the powerPerfector unit and the energy savings that the school could expect. Three months after the installation the electricity consumption was analysed to find a reduction of 10.6 per cent.
