Improvements and Conservation Program at IEP's headquarters

IEP were pleased to have the support of TV personality Alan Titchmarsh. Recently IEP undertook a improvement and planting scheme for natural trees and shrubs which has not only enhanced the working environment but has dramatically increased the numbers of birds and wildlife that now visits our workplace. IEP's main works sits between Newark's town centre and open countryside and with 12 acres of total site area we have cultivated a large area close to the car park and lorry park. IEP are committed to a recycling program of our waste materials which will put a stop to landfill and will considerably improve our industrial impact on the environment. With this in mind, we have taken the next step to encourage natural surroundings similar to that of a nature park.
