Our clients
In simple terms our clients convert locally sourced feed wheat into both bioethanol, a more environmentally friendly transport fuel, and a highly nutritious animal feed for the dairy industry.
They are passionate about what they do and proud to say the bioethanol produced helps to reduce transport carbon emissions in the UK.
Safety comes first, but equally important is how they work; the people and culture make them who they are.
They also recognise that whilst work is a big part of who they are, their people have other roles to fill in their lives. Enabling the team to balance work and home life is important to them
