Is saving energy driving your agenda?

Decarbonise your factory with Penmann

The UK’s inaugural event on decarbonising your food and beverage operations - Sustainable Food Factory 2024 - took place recently on 12th June. This was our opportunity to show how the innovative approach and expertise of our Green Team assists producers to maximise your efforts towards carbon neutrality whilst, at the same time, saving you considerable £ in energy costs. 

We’ve been producing some handy tips on Decarbonising your Factory, designed to improve the effectiveness of airflow in your production area leading to improved operational output and reduced cost.

As a business we are finding that this type of niche conference based event with a specific focus or ‘hot topic’ at its core, is where we are successfully forming collaborations and developing opportunities.

Reduce your cooling times for operational efficiency and cost saving

A trip to the Society of Dairy Technology's Spring Conference – another new initiative for Penmann – provided another excellent opportunity to present to the conference delegates our proven track record and expertise in  dairy cooling technology for major producers:

•    Inline and static cooling systems
•    Exclusive UK Agents for the Clauger Rapid Cooling Cell

Amazing discovery in our archives from 49 years ago!

June 1975 saw Penmann receive our first orders. The discovery of this notable fact is due entirely to John Kirwin, our Sales & Marketing Manager, deciding to clear some archive boxes from his garage! Here is the page from a rather tattered book used by Company founder, Laurie Kirwin, to record our orders – handwritten of course, and without the detail that today’s record keeping affords us.

Insights from Penmann - resources to help you improve efficiency

We simply don’t just sell our products and services; we advise on a whole raft of cooling and conditioning, air con and ventilation related challenges and recently wondered why we don’t start to share our expertise in a more formal way.

Hence the launch of Insights from Penmann. An umbrella title for us to cover a portfolio of topics. Topic area No 1 focuses on how we can help you to improve your Air Handling Efficiency.

Penmann – always happy to help

Displacement Air Handling Contract Delivers Impressive Savings

Tap into Penmann’s expertise now – cut energy costs, reduce contamination, increase product quality. 

Team Penmann Updates

John Kirwin celebrates 27 years at Penmann 

“Difficult to believe I joined the Penmann family business 27 years ago in 1997”, John remarked. It’s a personal and professional journey which he charts here describing some interesting milestones along the way!

Diverse tasks and topics continue to challenge at our Team Engagement sessions

It’s a programme we launched over 3 years ago and its’s grown into a series of monthly challenges, team activities and well……social events! Everything we do is based around the objective of encouraging teamwork to problem solve and to get to know our colleagues in a less formal setting. Most sessions are at our Highfield HQ and are run by Penmann’s Office Manager, Judith Lodge, who keeps future challenges a closely guarded secret.

This year we’ve been challenged to decorate cakes, look introspectively at our personal wellbeing and how to improve it, and enjoy a BBQ cooked by John!

Penmann consistently supports locally-based initiatives designed to ensure Aid keeps flowing to Ukraine. We donated £500 in March to the Yorkshire Aid Convoy that coordinates the movement of much needed supplies that support the front-line efforts as this unnecessary war rages on.

•    Technically excellent unique solutions
