It has been extremely helpful for us to achieve a higher and more efficient renovation of our building. Nicola (our officer) was a pleasure to deal with, she couldn’t have been more helpful!

Thanks to Green BELLE, it enabled us to consider energy efficiency measures within our building which we perhaps would not have been able to install otherwise due to cost reasons. This will allow us to ensure that our energy usage is low, the building is efficient to run and we are in turn lowering our impact on the environment. Delighted!

Extremely easy process from beginning to end. Nicola explained the process throughout and was very helpful. Overall great service provided.

I would like to thank Aidan Davis for his diligence and attention to detail throughout the whole process; the grant has enabled the business to make substantial economic and green savings.

Excellent, made the project feasible.

Our Project Officer Aidan was most helpful and always answered our queries promptly. The information on the grant application was very thorough and allowed us to easily fill it in. The process itself was pretty stress free and was largely managed in house with selected contractors who performed the upgrades to a high specification.

Nicola at Green BELLE made the process very easy. From the site visit, to explaining the application forms, she was very helpful and answered all queries quickly. Very happy with their help, and with the new LED light installation.

Green BELLE has been vital in the transformation of my small hotel from a one size fits all central heating system to bespoke guest controllable in room units which can also be operated and monitored on line. I anticipate significant energy savings and positive business impact which could not have been achieved without the Green BELLE funding.

Abinger Guest House

A great and valuable boost for small business, very much appreciated thank you.

Very happy with the speed and ease of grant funding.

I would say most business owners could make savings with their use of energy but the costs of ‘change’ and the timescales involved often outweigh the process. I can certainly recommend that any business owner should make the call to Green BELLE and see for themselves how much they can both improve and save on their energy use. I did, and underwent a very smooth LED lighting project.

Working with the Green BELLE grant scheme was quick and seamless and allowed us to make improvements to our building which forms part our objectives to reduce environmental impact on site. In addition, we will see the cost savings benefit from improved energy performance.

I thought that Aidan managed the whole process brilliantly. The Green BELLE grant enabled us to replace boilers that were over 40 years old with modern replacements which are already leading to lower gas bills.
