JAMES CROPPER RECOGNISED FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AT PAPER INDUSTRY GOLD AWARDS

On Wednesday 11th May 2022 we were delighted to win an award for Community Engagement at the first Paper Industry Gold Awards.

The awards celebrate the best of the UK’s Paper-based Industries showcasing excellence within the Industry.
Our work with Burneside Community Energy (BCE), whereby a series of Solar PV arrays have been installed on roof space at Burneside Mills, not only generates clean, green electricity, it funds environmental and social projects in the local community.
Projects range from help and advice for those in fuel poverty, support for young people and the school, to conservation and wildlife enhancement.
We are thrilled that our support in the local community, and specifically the exceptional work we have done alongside Burneside Community Energy, was recognised for having such a positive effect.Julie Tomlinson Marketing Communications Manager.

Well over 100 people attended the Paper Industry Gold Awards 2022 from across industry, as well as key political stakeholders, to celebrate the achievements of the industry and recognise the exceptional work of individuals and companies within it.
