The Grand Challenge is a strategy set out to put the UK at the forefront of industry. It aims to improve peoples lives and the country’s productivity.

It covers 4 main topics for improvement:

Artificial Intelligence and data
ageing society
clean growth
future of mobility

‘The move to cleaner economic growth – through low carbon technologies and the efficient use of resources – is one of the greatest industrial opportunities of our time. By one estimate, the UK’s clean economy could grow at four times the rate of GDP. Whole new industries will be created and existing industries transformed as we move towards a low carbon, more resource-efficient economy.’ – http://ow.ly/w6ee30mfC1r

A detailed programme for the week is under development, and will include a focus on:

UK leadership on climate change
the latest climate science
the clean technologies of future
financing the low carbon economy
clean growth as a business opportunity

Just a quick note of thanks for the work you recently completed at our house. We had been badly messed about by another firm promising (and failing) to do this work – and as a result decided to try A&M. The service has been great, right from booking/conducting the survey – through to the two installers who completed the work. Everyone turned up on the dates/times they were supposed to and the standard of work was very good. Much appreciated. Ian Wilkinson, Halifax
May I commend your men for an excellent job done very well, they were efficient, polite and cleaned up after even washing walls down of dust produced by drilling. A good job well done! Mr Lockwood, Ewhurst
Just wanted to pass on our thanks for the excellent customer service we received from your engineer last Tuesday. He arrived on time and explained everything in detail. He made sure he worked safely and cleaned up everything before he left. Hopefully you can pass on our thanks for a job well done. Believe me this is not always the case with trades people. Mr Lloyd, Shrewsbury
Just a note to say how impressed we were with the 2 men who came to insulate our house walls last Thursday. They were very helpful with a wall vent problem,were hard at work all day and did an excellent job, even as far as washing the windows after the job was completed. Please pass on our thanks to them for a job well done. Charles and Alison
I’d like to report back on the excellent job undertaken by your installer yesterday with our cavity wall insulation. He was on site exactly at the agreed time, very knowledgeable and kept a friendly and polite attitude all day. There was an evident respect of my property and he cleaned up behind himself leaving little evidence that he had even been there. A job very well done. Mr Adams, Swindon
We would like it noting how thoroughly polite, efficient and professional A&M Energy Solutions have been, right from their initial visit to survey our property. They’re a credit to you. Mrs Hadden, Sileby
I was very pleased with the way that the work was carried out on my property, particularly the manor and attitude of the three operatives on site. The original contact lady and surveyor were also helpful and friendly. Mr White, Salisbury
Your men turned up nice and early. They explained everything, gave the H&S notice and door signs. They were pleasant, and very quick and efficient in doing the job, and the house was left clean. I didn’t expect them to paint over where the holes were, so that was a bonus! At the end of the job, the paperwork was explained thoroughly before each piece was signed. I would recommend A&M to anyone. P Brewerton, Littlehampton
Wrexham County Borough Council, Housing Services have been working with A&M Energy Solutions for many years to insulate our Local Authority owned housing stock. I have found them to be trustworthy and reliable company who carry out the work to a consistently high standard. Their property surveyors are courteous, polite and are able to communicate with our tenants and they insulation operatives carry out the work cleanly, safely with minimal disruption. Geraint Wyn Jones, Wrexham County Borough Council
We have been extremely pleased with the performance and approach of A&M Energy Solutions. We have monitored the work completed and found it be of high standard.
