The UK’s leading developer of specialised leak detection and environmental protection systems, Andel, recently created a brand-new job role to support its sustainability vision for the future.
The Yorkshire SME has appointed Joe Harris as ‘Net Zero & Sustainability Co-ordinator’ and he joins the company at its new Barnsley-based offices.
Andel is responsible for oil storage, fuel maintenance, sampling and inspections at more than 50% of all NHS trusts in England and two years ago pledged to go carbon-zero by 2025.
Managing Director, Peter Double, said: “Since it was founded in 1992, Andel has been committed to protecting the environment and now with this role we have put our money where our mouth is.
“Joe is extremely passionate about protecting the environment so he is absolutely the right person for the job as he will hold us all accountable to make sure we make a difference.
“I believe it is everyone’s responsibility to take care of the environment for the generations to come and Andel is rising to the challenge.
Earlier this year, the Lord Mayor of Leeds welcomed Andel to the University of Leeds Nexus Innovation Hub and the company won the Manufacturing Innovation at the Made in Sheffield awards.
Andel has previously won the Queen’s Award for Innovation and was cited as one of the success stories of the 2012 London Olympics – installing and commissioning several leak detection systems in the main stadium, the white water canoe course and the Olympic village.
Andel has also installed its Floodline® system in prestigious London buildings including the Shard, the Houses of Parliament, the O2, the ‘Walkie Talkie’ building and Canary Wharf.
