Our brand new podcast series kicks off with '5 Steps to Solar' from thinking about solar to installation and feeling the benefit of energy bill reduction.
Very pleased to say that in collaboration with Andrew Ladbrook, we have launched a Real World Energy Insights podcast (first episode below). I know right exactly what the world needs more of!
Joking aside this has been a bit of passion project of mine for while but its taken (much) longer to get everything in place. A big thank you to Andrew Ladbrook who has brought a huge amount of energy and enthusiasm to the project.
As per the name, we will be focusing on the real operational and commercial impacts that adopting new energy technologies can have on your business. To help with this we will be hosting guests to talk about their experience or talk through their latest innovation.
We keeping episodes short (20 mins) because, like us, most people are short on time. So don't expect the deepest technical dives, but know that after listening your business will have enough clarity and confidence to start asking the right questions.
Over coming weeks we will be sharing highlights of each episode focusing on one area. If you want the full thing we are currently on:

On 1 June 2026, Digital ATA Carnets officially launched across the UK, European Union, Switzerland and Norway, marking a significant milestone for international trade. As Head of International Trade Services at Business West, I was keen to experience the process first-hand. So, when I travelled from Bristol to Paris hand-carrying professional equipment for a presentation at the International Chamber of Commerce, I used a Digital Carnet for the entire journey (the first in the UK).
