Blue Stamp Travel

16 September 2024

"As a business whose unique offer is built around travel, Blue Stamp Travel suffered major disruption as a result of Covid, in both operations and revenue. Despite uncertain times, it has been built back and is now predicting its best-ever revenue year.

Keeping an eagle eye on costs has become more important than ever following the business’s recent relocation to the old bank hall in Daybrook. This 100-year-old building certainly offers real opportunities for improving energy efficiency. A fully funded energy audit gave the business the evidence needed to successfully apply for a decarbonisation grant from Gedling Borough Council.

During the original renovations, 22 solar panels were installed with the intention of adding a battery later down the line. A battery has just been installed and already the property is 100% off-grid with surplus energy being exported to the grid. Financially, this will make a difference from day one and the investment will be repaid very quickly. Equally importantly, the environmental impact of creating green energy is very satisfying."
