Michael Foulger
Chairman,
Banham Poultry

 

Banham Power is pleased to introduce its unique plans to establish a renewable electricity plant on the outskirts of Attleborough – a pioneering venture in green energy.

Banham Power is a new division of Norfolk food business Banham Poultry, a family-owned firm supplying chilled fresh chicken to butchers and food retailers throughout the UK. A fully integrated business involving farming, processing and distribution, the company supports around 750 jobs in and around the Attleborough area.

The company has a track record of leadership and innovation within the poultry industry.

For example, Banham scored the highest hygiene rating of all UK poultry processors in the Meat Hygiene Service’s annual assessments for 2003, and was one of the first UK processors to adopt leak-proof packaging systems.

The origins of Banham Power lie in a long-standing commitment to recycling and energy efficiency. Banham won a Climate Change Levy rebate because the efficiency of its Combined Heat and Power plant recycles hot water for refrigeration and even puts electricity back into the National Grid.

Banham has also pioneered the use of biodiesel in its 40-strong transport fleet, and is one of the first poultry processors in the country to seek independent accreditation for its standards of environmental management.

The Banham Power project is a natural next step for a company committed to finding environmentally sustainable solutions to modern industrial challenges.

We do hope you will share our confidence and enthusiasm in Banham’s latest venture in renewable energy.
