Carbon neutral Bedford company nominated for two awards as it installs 650 solar panels

Midas Pattern Company has been rewarded with not one, but two energy and sustainability nominations with the Energy Institute and MAKEuk.

The Bedford company - on the Elms Farm Industrial Estate - is hoping to lead the charge on responsible and sustainable manufacturing.

And after a huge amount of effort and investment - including the installation of a new energy efficient compressor and 650 PV solar panels - Midas has now reduced its CO 2 emissions sufficiently to be classed as carbon neutral.

And as the moulding company celebrates more than 30 years in business, the 75-strong staff have their fingers crossed for the award finals in October.
