Rudding Park invests over £50k in electric vehicle chargers
13/03/2023
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.”

“I have been using Key Reservations for nearly 10years now, their service is second to none. Within my role at Finsbury Food Group, it is a weight off my mind that I have Michelle at the other end of a phone or email who will help me out no end. The service they provide is excellent, the whole team are very friendly and helpful. The knowledge and advice they offer about various hotels and meeting venues is invaluable, they take out all the hassle of looking for accommodation and meeting venues. I don’t know what I would do without them!”
