POWER SAVER
An energy-saving project at the
PARKnSHOP on Tin Hau Temple Road has proved
to be a big success. The store saved 20 per cent on
energy costs by using lighting products provided by HWL
subsidiary bigboXX.com that have a special nanoflex coating.
There are plans to expand the scheme to other retail stores.

Bigger and Better
The Port of
Felixstowe held a ground-breaking
ceremony to mark the formal
commencement of the Felixstowe South
Reconfiguration project. Whilst the port
can already accommodate the largest
vessels in the market, the project
will enable it to handle more vessels
simultaneously, securing its position as
the UK’s number one port.
