Gareth Williams: Focus on solar PV
Gareth Williams runs a mixed farm in the Hereford countryside. After installing renewable energy on his own farm and realising the opportunities it creates, and some of the challenges, he set up Caplor Energy in late 2008 to install renewable technologies on other sites. The high quality and important environmental benefits that his work provides has not gone unnoticed, as the company has received multiple accolades including 2009 C+ Carbon Positive Award, 2010 Chamber Business Highly Commended Environmental Award, 2010 West Midlands Carbon Reduction Cost Saving Award, 2010 Herefordshire Environmental Champion and in the same year was mentioned as one of 50 Green Leaders by Sustainability West Midlands.
