Lakes Story Limited T/A The World of Beatrix Potter got in touch with our colleagues at Barclays Business Banking looking for support replacing their old fluorescent, halogen, and tungsten bulbs with more energy efficient LED alternatives.

Their tourist attraction needed over 150 new lights across its 250-seat theatre and interactive exhibits.
They told us that the new LED lighting solutions we helped finance reduced their lighting-based energy consumption by 90%, their electricity bills by 50% and reduced air conditioning costs by 20%, thanks to the new bulbs producing less heat. Plus, their new LED lighting has a longer lifespan – meaning lower maintenance and yearly cleaning costs.
They also installed solar panels on the roof to produce their own sustainable energy, reducing energy bills by a further 10%. Two new electric vans help transport equipment from their warehouse and fresh produce from the garden to their shop and café. 10p of each ticket sold goes to a local wildlife trust to plant new trees, helping to offset their carbon footprint even more. So far, 1,000 trees have been planted.
