A COMPANY that is committed to helping people reach net zero is practising what it preaches with a new headquarters in Finchampstead.

And to celebrate, InstaGroup invited Darren Jones to cut the ribbon and declare InstaHouse open.

The Labour MP for Bristol North West is the chair of the cross party House of Commons Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee, so understands the challenges facing the industry.

InstraGroup has four branches: its buildings arm helps the construction industry, its insulation and heating services help install all kinds of energy saving measures, while its flooring solutions include specialist systems for sports and indoor leisure activities, as well as acoustic underlays for homes.

And it also have an installer network, providing insulation system design, high quality materials and technical back-up. Its services can work with local authorities and social housing providers.

Now, the firm has smart new offices from which it can offer its services and support to both domestic and business customers.

Based in Hogwood Business Park, the open plan space includes a mezzanine level, and plenty of space for its team to work and enjoy some downtime.

Introducing the ribbon cutting, InstaGroup’s David Robson said that the previous base was “very tired” and needed some TLC.

“We’ve given it slightly more than that. I’m really proud that we have a bright, modern home,” he said.

He added that the building helped “symbolise the changes we’ve gone through as a business and where we are heading”.

“The preparations we are making to enable us to be in the best possible shape to make the most of the opportunities that lie ahead with net zero,” he said. “It’s also about attracting the next generation into this sector.

“This is so important as the industry needs to adapt and modernise if we are going to deliver the changes needed to our building stock in order for net zero to be delivered.

“The committee on climate change issued a report with a pretty stark warning: we are way behind where we need to be on energy efficiency, we urgent need to ramp up.”

Mr Jones was thrilled to visit.

“The new offices are fantastic,” he said. “It’s great to support InstaGroup. They are one of the leading companies in the country for energy efficiency work.

“We know how important it is to decarbonise buildings to hit our net zero targets, and we can’t do that without companies like InstaGroup.”

The visit was also beneficial as it meant Mr Jones was able to leave Westminster and see for himself the difference the company can make.

“When we’re in Westminster, looking at evidence, thinking about how we spend taxpayers money making policy decisions, all that really matters is that we know there are companies like InstaGroup who are able to do the work that we need to be doing across the country.

“This is ultimately about people and businesses being able to prepare the country for the worst effects of climate change, and to limit climate change for the future. So it’s great to be here and see that in real life.”
