17th March 2025

Northern Trust Company Ltd is pleased to announce the completion of solar PV installation works and commencement works for a new energy-efficient air source heat pump system at Centrix @ Keys Business Village in Cannock. These upgrades reflect Northern Trust’s commitment to sustainability and reducing the carbon footprint of its properties while enhancing occupier comfort and environmental efficiency via Low and Zero Carbon technologies.

The solar PV installation will provide a significant portion of renewable energy to the business centre, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources and lowering overall energy costs for the facility. The new air source heat pump system is designed to deliver efficient, environmentally friendly climate-controlled comfort while further reducing energy consumption. In addition, the lighting systems are being upgraded with LED light fittings incorporating intelligent controls to further reduce energy usage.

Neil McManus, Senior Development Executive at Northern Trust, shared his enthusiasm for the project “We are dedicated to creating a more sustainable and efficient workspace for our tenants. These upgrades are a critical part of our long-term strategy to reduce our environmental impact while also delivering tangible benefits to our tenants in terms of energy savings and comfort.

The solar PV system is being installed by renowned renewable energy specialists, Thompsons Solar, who bring extensive experience in solar technology and sustainable energy solutions. Jon Kemp, Solar Director at Thompsons Solar, commented “We’re thrilled to partner with Northern Trust on this initiative. By installing a high-performance solar PV system, we’re helping Centrix @ Keys Business Village make a significant step towards sustainability. This installation will not only lower carbon emissions but also contribute to a more resilient and cost-effective energy strategy for the property.”

Adcock Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Ltd, founded over 60 years ago will be completing the new energy-efficient air conditioning system installation. Steve Maclennan, Director at Adcock’s said “We are thrilled to announce our latest collaboration with Northern Trust. This partnership brings together Adcock’s industry-leading expertise in climate control solutions and Northern Trust’s extensive property portfolio. This project at Centrix @ Keys Business Village, Cannock will entail the replacement of a 20-year-old system with the latest Daikin VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) systems.
