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.

In addition, the lighting systems are being upgraded with LED light fittings incorporating intelligent controls to further reduce energy usage.
