Have you ever considered conducting a basic energy audit to identify areas of waste and inefficiency?

Doing so, will enable you to implement simple, cost-effective measures that can lead to significant energy saving…

These can be as straightforward as switching to LED lighting, using programmable thermostats, and encouraging employees to power down electronics when not in use.

So, what are you waiting for?

This month our spotlight is on Philippa Glover (Pip) from our Customer Success Team… get to know her a little better!

Q. What’s your claim to fame?

A. For various things, I’ve been in newspapers, magazine and on TV in Dubai, my uncle was an All Black, my aunty was a Black Stick… I even won a colouring competition once when I was 6 😂 But I think my biggest claim to fame is being married to one of only 50 men in world who has completed a Hells 500 Triple Everest Challenge.

Q. If you had the opportunity to know the future, would you want to know?

A. Definitely would like to know – I like to plan!

Q. What’s your go-to karaoke song?

A. Don’t have one, will never sing in public no matter how many drinks I have (I won’t even sing “Happy Birthday” at parties)

Q. What’s your favourite childhood memory?

A. My dad died when I was really young, so my favourite memory is with him when I was about 5.  Some nights after Mum had gone to bed already, I would sneak out of bed and would sit on my Dad’s lap and eat peanuts with him while he watched Blackadder.  Mum never knew for years!

Q. Tea or coffee?

A. Coffee, always coffee!  Tea is weird.
