Cllr Ray Russell, Leader of Chesterfield Borough Council said: "It's great to see a business which works in partnership with Chesterfield Borough Council is doing really well and winning prestigious awards like this one. It's especially pleasing when the award comes for a company which helps the Council to improve the local and national environment by working with it on renewable energy projects. Congratulations to them!"
