David Dunn the Chairman of Brigg Young Farmers Club says “It was a great visit which I think surprised us all! It was really interesting to have a first-hand opportunity to see how a renewable energy plant like Brigg actually operates, what goes on behind the scenes. For us it was also important to be able to talk to people running a plant like this about the potential to be growing crops to supply this and even other plants in the area. It’s easy to forget that these are the sorts of crops we could be growing in the future.”
Colin Jones from Brigg Renewable Energy Plant says “It’s always great to host groups around the site and show them what we do and how the process works. It was particularly nice to be talking to local young people that we can offer an alternative market and commercial opportunity to as they grow their own businesses. When we developed the plant here we were always very focused on ensuring we brought as many opportunities to the local community as possible and this really is an example of that.”
