Midland Bio Energy to expand following move to new site

UK-based pellet fuel supplier Midland Bio Energy has announced ambitious plans for its business this year.

The company recently moved into a new, larger premises around 10 miles from its previous site. Its 6000 ft2 is located in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

'The building we now occupy is less than four years old; with all the benefits a new building can offer,' says managing director Andrew Brindley, 'Everything is in a good state of repair, weatherproof and sealed from the outside elements.

The roof is higher meaning we can store to a higher level and therefore hold more stock more efficiently,'.

He adds: 'Moving to the new place has enabled us to sell new products. These include three types and sizes of kiln dried logs, firelighters and kindling.'

As well as these, blown wood pellets are delivered in bulk directly into a customer's fuel store.

Bagged pellets and wood pellets for horse bedding are also sold and available on a national basis.

'We have increased turnover threefold in the last six months,' Brindley says, 'this has been mainly due to the increase in the supply of bulk pellets. Horse bedding sales have doubled and bagged pellets have also increased more than double on last winter.'

The wood fuel pellet company was established in 2007.
