Consultancy services
If you are either thinking about becoming a supplier or considering installing a biomass boiler we can help you make the decision through our consultancy services. We can assist in producing a business case or conduct a feasibility study. We also provide help and assistance in grant applications.

Woodland management options
If you have access to woodland and are interested in benefiting from being involved in the woodfuel supply chain, but don’t see this as your primary business, why not consider our woodfuel management services? We will team you up with a local forestry contractor who will manage your woodland for woodfuel. You will benefit from an increase in biodiversity in your woodland at the same time as being paid for the wood extracted from your property.
