Forest Fuels opens a new pellet facility in the North West of England. The Forest Fuels’ Liverpool wood pellet depot at Garston is the next stage in the company’s plans to significantly increase its financial investment in the region.
The facility will hold a huge amount of wood pellet – nearly 10 times the amount that it held at its previous depot.
The site also provides a boost for associated businesses in Liverpool, supporting jobs in Forest Fuels’ supply chain, which delivers sustainable, environmentally-friendly wood fuel across the UK from its local depots.
“This is another positive step forward for the sector in the North West of England,” said Peter Solly, managing director of Forest Fuels, “And great news for our long-term customers who want to be certain that they can get wood fuel when they need it at this crucial time of year. Our previous facility was much smaller, and this increased capacity means we are now able to offer improved continuity of supply.”
The two-shed depot is dedicated solely to wood pellets and includes a conveyor-driven screening plant, resulting in high-quality clean fuel. Coupled with rigorous quality controls, the screening facility passes all of the wood pellets along a conveyor belt and removes dust and smaller broken pellets before being loaded onto the delivery vehicle.
Grant Miller is Forest Fuels’ North West account manager and heads up operations at the new Liverpool depot.
Forest Fuels is the UK’s leading wood fuel supply company - a specialist wood fuel supplier and consultant to small and medium scale heat boilers.
