Roffey Park has just added to its credentials by achieving the ISO14001 accreditation for environmental management.
Set in 40 acres of rural Sussex countryside and bordered by Forestry commission land, caring for the environment has always come naturally but it is nice to be recognised for the work that you are doing explained Premises Manager Charles McNeil. "The most recent innovation was the installation of a Ground Source Heat Pump system, a technological wonder which takes that natural heat from the ground and via a clever array of technical wizardry heats the entire older part of the site including heating the swimming pool reducing the reliance on oil to almost zero and LP Gas by 50%. As well providing a green energy system it is also expected to produce a net energy cost saving of £20,000 per year."
McNeil explained that when the bulldozers moved in last summer to dig 38 x 250 metre long trenches 2 metres deep in the beautiful meadows he was slightly perturbed but six months later all has been restored and the pumps are running perfectly virtually maintenance free.
