\"\"<\/a>Vickers Energy Group welcomed the Permanent Secretary, Director Generals and policy makers from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) to its Trafford Park site\u00a0last week\u00a0to discuss the company\u2019s success in the UK market and its growth overseas.<\/p>\n

The visit included a round table discussion about the importance of government support to growth, how exports are helping the company to grow and its plans for future development in the UK. The company is working with clients to help manage their energy consumption more effectively and reduce costs and C02<\/sub> emissions.<\/p>\n

This was part of a tour of Greater Manchester carried out by BIS to witness first hand Manchester\u2019s vision for economic growth. The visit highlighted the importance of areas such as Trafford Park to the growth of Greater Manchester as well as opportunities and challenges for the local economy.<\/p>\n

David Hilton from Vickers\u00a0said: \u201cWe were delighted to welcome the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to our headquarters in Trafford Park to discuss our business alongside the opportunities and challenges we have in reaching out to expand our client base in the UK and abroad. Our proposition is pretty simple \u2013 our energy management system saves our clients thousands of pounds in energy bills and reduces carbon emissions. We are looking forward to a busy year as more and more businesses focus on environmental policies and the need to reduce consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n

BIS Permanent Secretary Martin Donnelly said: \u201cIt is fantastic to see first-hand the innovative British companies that are leading the world, particularly in important fields like energy management.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Government we are working hard to support businesses to grow. Just this week, we invested a further \u00a31 billion in local economies across England by expanding the successful Growth Deals. This will help to train young people, create thousands of new jobs, start hundreds of infrastructure projects and boost business support schemes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vickers saves its customers over \u00a375 million per year and is at the forefront of energy management technology in the UK. On average it saves its customers \u00a318,000 per year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
