Rudding Park invests over £50k in electric vehicle chargers

Rudding Park is a privately-owned luxury resort set in 300 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland featuring 90 bedrooms and suites and a spa.

Rudding Park in Harrogate has invested over £50k commissioning 12 new electric vehicle chargers.

The chargers are available to the public and a welcome addition for local residents and visitors to Harrogate as well as hotel guests.

The units are 22kw each and are electrically fed from the Rudding Park Energy Centre and therefore the benefit from a 30% reduction in C02 emissions compared to normal grid supplied chargers.

Rudding Park intends to increase its charging point offering in the future to further accommodate drivers of electric vehicles.

Matthew Mackaness, Rudding Park director, said: “As a responsible business it is vital we do our bit and ensure the environment is at the heart of all business
decisions. We teamed up with Yorkshire based Utley-EV to design and install the project and they specified The Pilot Group charge points for their ‘tap and go’
functionality.

“The way to give people confidence to switch to electric is to increase the provision of chargers across the district. We are therefore delighted to welcome Harrogate
residents and visitors to use our EV Chargers, who are of course welcome to grab a  coffee or a bit to eat at Clocktower whilst waiting.”

He added: “The charging points are extremely user friendly and can be activated on a ‘tap and go’ basis so there is no need to download an app or create an account. Rudding Park employees can also use the charging points and we plan to roll out additional provision over time as demand grows.”

"As a client of Key Reservations since they started in 1991, Devro plc have found the service to be extremely efficient. Key are always able to offer the best rates as well as expert advice. Apart from being very reliable, they always manage to get the necessary accommodation for me. Having been approached by other agents in the past, I have found that no one offers the choice or rates similar to Key Reservations. Key take all the hassle out of booking bedrooms and conferences which is a big benefit to someone in my position."
