Theo Paphitis and Carbon Trust launch scrappage scheme to help London businesses save on energy costs

The Carbon Trust recently launched The Big Business Refit a campaign for helping small and medium-sized businesses with expert guidance and access to financial support in the form of £100 million in interest free funding to replacing old, power hungry equipment. In doing so, the campaign promises to help around 3,000 UK businesses save £40 million from their annual energy costs, and cut their carbon emissions by 26,000 tonnes.

The Big Business Refit runs until 31 March 2010. The campaign offers advice on identifying old equipment and guidance on suitable replacements in clinics in UK cities, including London. 

Businesses can get expert advice, a free energy saving assessment, or apply for interest free funding by calling Tel: 01865 885879, or visiting http://www.bigbusinessrefit.co.uk/.
