Marshall Fleet Solutions moves to spacious modern new head office in Cambridge

Just over a month ago, as part of its long-term business growth strategy, Marshall Fleet Solutions moved into a new spacious head office facility in Cambridge, which is approximately 1 mile from the company’s former head office site.

MFS Head Office is based at The Quorum, which is situated approximately 2.3 miles to the east of Cambridge, within the City boundary, and conveniently located only one mile from the main A14 trunk road, connecting with the M11 at Junction 14.

The new location is:

Marshall Fleet Solutions, Suite 230/240, The Quorum, Barnwell Road, Cambridge, CB5 8RE

According to MFS Managing Director Mark Howell, “This is a very important and exciting development for MFS, which clearly demonstrates the long-term commitment and investment by the Marshall Group to the future of Marshall Fleet Solutions.”

Mark continues,” The Head Office move in October went without any hiccups whatsoever, thanks to the hard work and forward planning of everyone involved. We were able to hit the ground running first thing on the Monday morning with no disruption to our business. This head office building is a perfect example of how the MFS business is moving forward.”

The new MFS head office complex represents a significant change from its previous site, providing a whole raft of additional facilities including plenty of meeting rooms, various breakout areas and restroom facilities as well as spacious and modern offices.

“MFS continues to change for the better. and we are incredibly proud of the new head office facility here in Cambridge. The move to this new spacious head office complex gives us a significant 40% increase in office space that will comfortably accommodate our future expansion plans,” commented Mark Howell

Committee on Climate Change CEO Chris Stark to headline ADBA National Conference 2019

• ADBA National Conference 2019 will feature an “In Conversation with” session with Chris Stark, CEO of the UK Committee on Climate Change.
• Conference will focus on how anaerobic digestion and biogas can contribute to addressing the climate emergency over the next decade.
• ADBA will also celebrate its 10th anniversary

The UK Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) has confirmed that Chris Stark, CEO of the UK Committee on Climate Change, will join the line-up of keynote speakers to discuss the issues to focus on after the forthcoming General Election in an eagerly anticipated “In Conversation with…” session at the ADBA National Conference 2019 in London on 11th December.

A major highlight of a conference, this will emphasize the critical role the anaerobic digestion (AD) and biogas industry needs to play in addressing the climate emergency and contribute to achieving the UK’s Net Zero greenhouse gases emissions target set up by the Government. Other eminent keynote speakers on the day include Stuart Roberts, Vice-President of the National Farmers’ Union (NFU), who will review the NFU’s recent Achieving Net Zero – Farming’s 2040 Goal report, in which AD delivers the biggest contribution, and Hilary Tanner, Policy Adviser at the Local Government Authority, who will share the LGA’s views on the implementation of mandatory separate food waste collections, and how biogas and biomethane can be utilised by local authorities.

The next 10 years are our most critical to act against the climate crisis, and AD can be rolled out now to cut emissions in some of the hardest to decarbonise sectors of our economy. Entitled “There’s no Net Zero without Biogas”, the conference will feature sessions discussing:

• How to realize the full potential of AD in the Climate Emergency decade
• The role of AD in developing a Net Zero circular economy
• Delivering sustainable heat and transport through AD

The conference will also cover more operational aspects such as optimising the use of digestate and the financial impact of replacing and/or upgrading equipment.

Expert panellists include:

• Dr. Keith Simons, Principal Scientist, SHV Energy
• Jonathan Scurlock, Chief Advisor -Renewable Energy, NFU
• Olivia Midgley, Editor, Farmers Guardian
• David Hurren, CEO, Air Liquide
• Alan Midwinter, Head of Renewable Development, SGN
• Amaya Arias-Garcia, Engineering Design Manager, Suez
• William Mezzullo, Head of JLEN AD, Foresight Group

ADBA will also take the opportunity to celebrate its 10th Anniversary and reflect on the achievement of the industry over the past decade.

Charlotte Morton, ADBA Chief Executive, said: “Whilst we’re very proud of the industry’s achievements over the last 10 years, there is so much more that AD and biogas is needed to deliver, particularly in the context of the climate emergency.  The next decade will be crucial if we are to fulfil our potential to decarbonise the UK economy and help achieve Net Zero targets, as well as food security through recycling the nutrients essential to food production.  We believe that the UK AD industry can reduce the UK’s greenhouse gases emissions by 5% annually by 2030.  But it is urgent that we act now, and we are therefore delighted to welcome Chris Stark, Stuart Roberts and Hilary Tanner to our conference. We want to make this event a turning point in raising awareness of AD’s potential among decision makers, movers and shakers and in securing the policy and financial support that the industry needs to flourish. Their presence will greatly help.”
