Make savings in your business
Wyred Up brings you all kinds of hints, tips and things to do to help you to save money in your business.
The Resource Efficiency Programme
The Resource Efficiency Programme is funded by ERDF and is managed by ENWORKS in Manchester. We deliver the programme to Lancs based SMEs and the link to the programme website is Resource Efficiency Programme
Any eligible business would get an Environmental Review and report to highlight the cost savings.
Being resource efficient is a profit opportunity - each pound saved on raw materials or utilities costs goes straight onto the bottom line. With support from Groundwork Pennine Lancashire you can take efficiency measures (many at little or no cost to your business) that will increase your profits and set you apart from the competition.
We can help you with:
waste audits
water audits
energy audits
creating and delivering a resource efficiency action plan
resource efficiency awareness sessions
resource efficiency training courses
Free support for Lancashire SMEs
Through the ENWORKS resource efficiency programme, Groundwork Pennine Lancashire are now able to offer free support to SME businesses. Following an initial site visit from one of our environmental consultants,companieswho arecommitted to improving their resource efficiency can join the free Lancashire Resource Efficiency Club.

WHAT IS NISP?
The National Industrial Symbiosis Programme (NISP) is funded by the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) to encourage and promote industrial symbiosis in England.
NISP is a FREE business opportunity programme that uses the industrial symbiosis approach to bring together companies from every industry sector with the aim of improving cross industry resource productivity and ultimately the commercial performance of the businesses involved. NISP is the first industrial symbiosis initiative in the world to be launched on a national scale.
What makes NISP different is that it deals with ALL TYPES OF RESOURCES – materials, energy, water, AND supports the sharing of assets, logistics and expertise.
Through NISP, companies can achieve substantial cost savings, generate sales from new markets and contribute towards creating a low carbon, sustainable economy.
NISP Achievements
Between April 2005 and March 2010 NISP in the UK has generated over £176 million in new sales for its members and collectively helped them to save over £156 million. In addition, the programme has diverted more than 7 million tonnes of business waste from landfill and reduced CO2 emissions by 6 million tonnes.
