Engineering Firm 'Create' A Greener Pint

Create, which has offices in Norwich and London, as well as a presence in Cambridge, Ipswich and Glasgow, was launched in 2009 by Jonathan Cage, a Chartered Engineer with over 22 years' experience. This latest contract, which Create won through Ipswich based Barnes Construction, could see the pub industry become a much greener and futuristic business prospect for potential tenants and investors as the buildings will be more efficient to run under 2010 Building Regulations.

Principal Sustainability Consultant at Create, Fiona Keysell, explains: “There are two new Marston’s pub sites we are completing a design assessment for on behalf of Barnes Construction - one in Spennymore and the other in Peterborough. Our role is to ensure that the model pub achieves as high a BREEAM rating as possible. We have also provided Marston’s with Energy Calculations and Energy Performance Certificates.”

Create has recently relocated to a newly refurbished head office in Norwich, which is on track to receive a gold rating with Ska. “In line with our own Corporate Social Responsibility strategy, we have developed an office environment with a focus on sustainability - it’s important to lead from the front and practice what we preach” explains Cage.
