Lincoln-based Delta-Simons Environmental Consultants Ltd, last week won a tender to deliver an important study on Energy and Renewable Energy for City of Lincoln Council. The purpose of the study is to inform the Council how the City could embrace improved energy management and identify feasible renewable sources of energy to help the fight against climate change. Climate change is the greatest environmental challenge facing the world today, and has become a major hot topic on the political agenda. 

 

The project will assess how the Council can meet its obligations for renewable energy production and energy-related policies. The study is in line with the National Governments policy proposals on Climate Change, Energy and Planning.

 

Delta-Simons, established in 1992, has its headquarters at The Lawn in Lincoln and provides business orientated solutions to environmental problems to the private and public sectors across the UK and Ireland.  The Company provides services in markets including energy, sustainable development, carbon management, contaminated land, geotechnics and environmental performance and compliance.

 

Delta-Simons includes the trading name Shining Earth^TM which was launched in May 2007 in response to strong and growing demand for services specifically focused on Corporate Responsibility, Carbon Footprint and Sustainability.  Its services in this area focus on enabling organisations to meet their environmental performance aspirations whilst enhancing profits and creating opportunity to market improved environmental credentials. 

 

This opportunity with the City of Lincoln Council not only reflects the growth and diversity of the Company in the last few years, but strengthens and enhances local links with Lincolnshire and the community.

 

Gareth Pickles, Managing Director at Delta-Simons comments “Our company mission is to deliver tangible environmental betterment as a consequence of our business operations and customer projects and we are committed to working in harmony with the local community and to strengthening our relationship with the City of Lincoln Council. We are delighted to be working with the Council on this exciting study and see it as a very positive step forward for the City and its population, providing Lincoln with the opportunity to set an example to the rest of the Country in terms of enhanced energy management and assessment of renewable energy sources.”

 

Toby Forbes Turner, Principal Planning Officer for the City of Lincoln Council said, “We are particularly pleased to be working with a locally based firm on an important study that will inform the Council’s approach to addressing climate change”.
