Rolawn

Celebrating two significant environmental achievements

Rolawn is celebrating two milestones in its environmental strategy, with the unveiling of a solar panel installation at their site in Seaton Ross, East Yorkshire, plus an upgrade to their independently audited Green Achiever award which gives them the coveted Diamond Banner status.

After months of planning, site-preparation and installation, the on-site solar panels, which were commissioned in December, are anticipated to make a significant contribution to the production facilities at the Head Office site. 

Known for innovative practices across the business, Rolawn’s environmental strategy is no exception. The business is embracing a carbon-friendly future with this proactive development which was identified as an enhancement to operations as part of an ongoing drive for efficiency.

Paul Dawson, Rolawn’s Managing Director, comments: “True to our environmental policy and credentials we identified an opportunity to operate in a more carbon-friendly manner and we acted on it.”

Further verification of Rolawn’s resolute focus on environmental responsibility comes in the form of the latest enhancement to their Green Achiever status. Following an annual audit by Green Achiever, Rolawn has been granted the new ‘Diamond Banner’ award in recognition of continuing improvement.

The award’s significance is summarised by Deb Cairns from Green Achiever; “I say to many that making an impressive improvement in environmental performance once is great but making improvements year in, year out shows commitment and ambition to really make a difference that deserves recognition. Rolawn Ltd is one of those companies.”  Both announcements, which are believed to be ‘firsts’ for the turf, topsoil and bark sector, underline Rolawn’s dedication to professionalism, reliability and integrity as well as a determination to lead the market in improving practices for the benefit of the environment.

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
