Energy firm named National Fuel Poverty Campaigner of the Year

The community interest company, based in Holywell Green, was named ‘National Fuel Poverty Campaigner of the Year’ at the energy saving industry’s largest awards ceremony.

YES Energy Solutions was praised for its work in helping vulnerable people reduce their fuel bills and keep warm for less.

The company also came second place in the ‘National Funding Provider of the Year’ category and third for the ‘Project Management Company of the Year’ award.

The National Energy Efficiency and Retrofit Awards is an annual event attended by hundreds of green organisations, installers and local authorities.

Chief executive of YES Energy Solutions, Andrew Herbert, said: “It’s fantastic to be recognised at a national level for our work in reducing fuel poverty.

“This year we’ve helped some of the most vulnerable householders in the country access support so that they can live in homes that they can now afford to heat.”

“Not only have our projects reduced CO 2 emissions, but they have really helped people improve their quality of life through energy efficiency.

“I’d like to thank everybody in my team for the commitment they have shown to the cause.”
