Leaders’ new sustainable branch in Lewes
Leaders, part of Leaders Romans Group (LRG), has launched its new sustainable office in Lewes, with an event for local clients, media, local businesses and Leaders staff.
LRG has pledged to roll out its green principles to all branch refurbishments across the UK in the company’s commitment to being carbon neutral by 2030.
David Wilson, Group COO, said: “Now is the time for the property sector to embrace the climate change challenge and step up to help turn the industry green. Customers expect more responsibility from the property services they use and interact with; we want to play our part in delivering the UK’s wider carbon reduction goals.”
The event saw the official unveiling of the branch’s new sustainable fit-out, fully powered by renewable green energy. Low-flow taps save up to 50% of water consumption, and low-VOC paints release less gas than traditional paints. In addition, LED timed lighting has been installed to reduce electricity wastage, and the installation of a historical image and map was made using sustainable wall vinyl. Existing flooring and furniture were re-used from the existing branch to be as environmentally friendly as possible. The branch has already been using recycled for sale and to let boards for the last three years. Every element of the re-fit has been produced locally to Lewes or in the UK to reduce transport emissions and to support local businesses.
