Local consultant greening the way for media sector

Environmental consultant Sharon Lashley from Enviro UK Consultants Ltd based at the North East BIC is greening the way for local radio station Sun FM through the successful delivery of environmental and waste management training.

Recently the staff from UKRD (a national media company) and in particular Sun FM radio station in Sunderland were successfully trained by Enviro UK Consultants in Level 2 Environmental Principles and Best Practice, a Chartered Institute of Environmental (CIEH) accredited course.

The UKRD Group Ltd is a British media company which owns 16 commercial radio stations across the UK, including Sun FM in Sunderland. Sharon Lashley worked with Sun FM to undertake an energy audit to improve their environmental performance and in doing so also delivered the training to their staff and other members of the UKRD group with 100% pass rate.

Julian Carter, Managing Director from Sun FM who participated in the training said “The Level 2 Environmental Principles and Best Practice course was an excellent way of bringing myself, my team and my UKRD colleagues up to speed with environmental issues particularly as here at Sun FM we are constantly assessing the environmental impact of our business. With our aim to be one of the “greenest” radio stations in the region and indeed the UKRD group we found the training extremely helpful and enjoyable”.

Sharon Lashley, Director at Enviro UK Consultants Ltd and registered trainer with the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) said, “We are delighted to have successfully delivered the Environmental Principles training to Sun FM and their colleagues within the UKRD group. It’s really important for organisations to consider their impact on the environment, be aware of their legal obligations and to also identify ways to save energy, make improvements to their working practices and save money. Being a “green” radio station is a fantastic achievement for Sun FM and one which we are proud to contribute to”.

Sharon Lashley and Enviro UK Consultants Ltd continue to support Sun FM in promoting awareness of environmental issues and helping them to maintain their green credentials.
