About Us
The "Bolsterstone" companies are a number of corporate bodies based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, which have been active for nearly twenty years.
Our projects include office blocks, industrial units and retail developments. Read more about our Chesterfield Waterside development, a joint venture with Chesterfield Borough Council.
Everything we do is driven by our aim to minimise our impact on the environment and reduce global warming. From our new development of advanced low energy homes in Norwich "Ecostessey Park", through to our renewable energy business, all our thinking is aimed at the future when the climate will be warmer and energy more expensive.
Wind energy
With regard to wind energy, we have screened many hundreds of sites nationally and are progressing a small number of them, of which, several are undergoing environmental surveys with a view to submission of planning applications in 2008 and beyond. The sites range from 6MW to 20MW in capacity and are situated all over England and Scotland. We work with experienced specialist environmental, planning and aviation consultants to filter out unsuitable sites and prepare suitable sites for planning applications. These developments will be project managed by Bolsterstone Plc.
Why do we care?
Government policy is supportive, but local implementation is slow. We have studied the science of climate change. We have studied the economics of energy supply and the oil industry. Both have led us to become seriously concerned about the future for our business, the future for our planet and the future for our children.
The UK government is not doing enough to prioritize these issues and much of the world leadership is in a state of denial. So what do we do? Do we all sit back and accept the situation, accepting the legacy we will leave for our old age and for our children's future, or do we do something positive about it?
We have decided to do something - to change the way we think and to change the way we invest our capital. If we all do our bit we CAN change the future - without waiting for government policy to catch up with what is happening NOW.
