NG Bailey moves in to forestry... and finds God

摘要

When the Benedictine nuns of the Conventus of Our Lady of Consolation moved to Stanbrook Abbey, their Feilden Clegg Bradley-designed eco-nunnery on the Yorkshire moors, earlier this month, they turned to contractor NG Bailey to supply their wood fuel.rnThe 4,000-strong, £600m turnover M&E specialist is well known for work on projects such as the refurbishment of Great Ormond Street Hospital. Now it has taken its business in an unexpected direction: forestry.rnNG Bailey has built up a £150,000-turnover business supplying woodchip for biomass boilers to 14 local consumers from its 2,600-acre estate, Denton Hall on Ilkley Moor. Among the business' customers are Bradford university, council libraries and now the abbey.
