Partnering with Centrica Business Solutions, a 25-strong team from G&H, including apprentices, will provide full MEP design, off-site prefabrication, and installation at Solihull Hospital. Completion is expected by February 2026.

Richard Tandy, head of projects at Centrica Business Solutions, said: "We're pleased to continue our relationship with G&H, as they support our delivery of a new Energy Centre at Solihull Hospital. The project will deliver significant carbon reductions that support the Trust's net zero journey."

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) launched the PSDS in 2020 to provide grants for public sector organisations, funding decarbonisation and energy efficiency measures to help meet the UK government's 2050 net zero greenhouse gas emissions target.
