Mountain Sized Savings for Clothing Manufacturer

A Leading Clothing Manufacturer

Founded in 1937 in Chesterfield, Grangers International has spent nearly a century helping people explore the outdoors for longer. Their cleaning and waterproofing products are trusted by adventurers worldwide – including Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, who famously used Grangers products during the first successful summit of Mount Everest in 1953.

Today, Grangers remains a pioneer in responsible manufacturing. As the first aftercare brand globally to achieve bluesign® system partner status, they continually invest in environmentally conscious processes while empowering customers to enjoy the outdoors sustainably.

Rising Energy Costs Threatening Sustainability Goals

Despite operating with minimal waste compared to others in their sector, Grangers faced a growing financial and operational challenge: rapidly increasing electricity prices. As a company built on environmental responsibility, they needed an energy strategy that would reduce costs, support their commitments to climate, and provide long-term resilience.

Solar power emerged as the ideal solution – but they needed the right partner to deliver it at scale.

A Seamless Partnership for Large-Scale Solar

After researching renewable energy providers, Grangers chose Geo Green Power for our proven experience, strong customer satisfaction, and track record with commercial installations.

A comprehensive site visit from our Commercial Surveyor, James, clarified system suitability and performance expectations. His transparent, expert guidance gave Grangers confidence that Geo Green Power could deliver the reliable, large-scale system they needed.

We designed and installed a 252kWp solar PV system, tailored to significantly reduce energy consumption and provide long-term financial returns.

Client feedback:

“From the initial first contact call with Geo Green Power to the installation – everything was seamless. The installation was completed on the date requested and within the quoted timescale. It was also refreshing to work with a company that delivered exactly the required and quoted work.”

A High-Performing System Delivering Powerful Returns

The new solar PV system is already delivering significant value for Grangers International. By generating clean, renewable energy on-site, the company now benefits from dramatically reduced electricity costs and far greater energy independence. The system also cuts Grangers’ carbon footprint by an estimated 53 tonnes of CO₂ every year – an environmental impact equivalent to driving a Tesla around the world 30 times.

Over the long term, the installation is projected to deliver a strong return on investment and generate substantial savings and income, supporting Grangers’ commitment to sustainability while strengthening their financial resilience.
