A West Midland construction firm has ushered in the new year with a hi-tech partnership agreement.

Stourport-based Thomas Vale Construction joined forces with Worcester Bosch and the West Midlands Centre for Constructing Excellence (WMCCE) to expand their partnership with energy giants EON.

The construction company last year announced they would be working with EON to deliver sustainable technologies, including micro-generation and distributed energy to clients across the Midlands.

Tony Hyde, managing director of Thomas Vale Construction, said: “The industry knows Thomas Vale is at the forefront of change and many of our competitors strive to meet the targets and challenges we set our business.

“This industry-first will ensure our environmental targets and client’s aspirations are met and exceeded through the depth and breadth of knowledge of this partnership.”

The partnership that will be made Thomas Vale, EON, WMCCE and Worcester Bosch will provide clients across the Midlands with a one-stop shop for Sustainable Energy Solutions.

Thomas Vale will be contacting its clients to discuss how it can help meet carbon reduction targets by reducing demand for power and heat requirements, whilst also providing access to carbon reduction grants.

The partnership will support employment in the local area.

Phil Wilson, operations director for the West Midlands Centre for Constructing Excellence, said: “WMCCE is delighted to join this exciting new partnership led by Thomas Vale.

“We are confident it will inspire the development and use of sustainable technologies in the region.”
