An award winning North Staffordshire roofing company is using a
cash boost to branch out into green technology.
Rydale Roofing took joint first place in the recent
Newcastle-under-Lyme Business Boost competition.
Now the Keele Road based company is to offer the latest
photo-voltaic roofing panels to customers for the first time.
Rydale Roofing was set up by Mick and Julie Mirowski in 1993. It
provides work for 10 roofers, all from the Newcastle area.
Rydale has continued to trade successfully through the recession
and, earlier this year, won a major contract to re-roof homes in
the local area for Newcastle based Aspire Housing.
Rydale's success helped the company to scoop the £2,000
first prize in the 2010 Business Boost.
Julie Mirowski said: "It has been a great year for Rydale.
Winning a contract with Aspire was a major achievement and to cap
the year off with first place in the Business Boost was a great
honour.
"We plan to use the prize money to launch our investment in
photo-voltaic panels.
"Many customers are now switched on to the need to take care of
the environment and to save energy.
And the new Feed-iIn Tariffs for energy mean that people can
save money through the generation of solar power."
