Ploughcroft to open UK’s first ‘Eco-Roof Visitor Centre’ in new HQ

Ploughcroft Eco-Roof, the Yorkshire-based energy efficiency specialist, has moved into new headquarters in Halifax, as part of its ongoing expansion plans.

Covering nearly 700 sq feet, the firm’s new ‘Eco-Roof Visitor Centre’ will be based in Whitehall Chambers on Halifax Road in Hipperholme.

The building has undergone a significant refurbishment, and will double as a warehouse, and an education and visitor centre, giving the public the opportunity to learn about energy efficient home improvements.

The facility is thought to be the only Eco-Roof education centre of its type in the country.

The HQ relocation follows a growth period for Ploughcroft, which has seen an increase in demand for its residential offering, as more homeowners want to experience the benefits of energy efficient home improvements.

In addition, the firm has also seen growth in its commercial and heritage roofing offering, most recently winning a contract to refurbish the entire roof of the grade 1 listed building, Piece Hall, in Halifax.

Chris Hopkins, managing director at Ploughcroft, said: “This is an extremely exciting time for the company, and with our Eco-Roof visitor centre, we are creating our own little Whitehall, here in Yorkshire, helping turn Britain green, one building at a time.

“Our new headquarters will not only provide a showcase for our products and services, but will also be a friendly and inspiring place where customers and community groups can have a coffee and a chat to learn more about energy efficient home improvements.”

The Eco-Roof Visitor Centre opens officially on November 2nd 2015 and will showcase all of Ploughcroft’s offerings including Eco-Roof and Eco-Wall insulation.
