Estate Agency goes Eco-Friendly

Created: 04/05/2007

Local estate agent, Perry Bishop and Chambers, has taken up the challenge to reduce its carbon footprint.  Instead of opting for a gas guzzling executive car, Simon Fieldwick, Faringdon’s Listing Manager has chosen the Toyota Prius Hybrid as a new company car. 

The car uses a combination of electric motors, battery power and a low emission petro engine to dramatically reduce Co2 output and, in turn, the negative effects on the environment.

“With environmental concerns currently hot on most people’s minds, I decided to follow the example of reported eco friendly celebrities, such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz by choosing the Prius” commented Simon.  “I am really pleased with its performance and its great to demonstrate how the company is considering its responsibilities on climate change.”

Other recent staff initiatives across the company include the recycling of all printing cartridges to support the local ambulance service as well as the recycling of shredded paper, being given away free of charge, as bedding for local stables.
