In June 2021, Whittaker welcomed funding for the local area of Brighouse, which brought in £19.1million to regenerate the town centre.
On his visit he said: “Waxman Energy is a fantastic local business that has brought in a wealth of positivity to the area, including jobs and distribution of renewable energy products, not only in West Yorkshire but throughout the UK.
"I feel very proud that the long-standing success of the Waxman Group comes from Calder Valley, as they have been distributing now for 75 years.”
Richard Waxman, Chairman of Waxman Energy said: “It has been a delight for Craig Whittaker to come and visit us at Waxman Energy and show his interest in our business, which has many exciting things to come in the future.”
