Journey to Net-Zero

A practical, focused energy strategy.

Supporting Metallink Fluid Power Systems with their On-Site Energy & Carbon Opportunities Review.

Alongside exploring their potential for on-site solar PV, Metallink wanted a broader understanding of how to reduce energy use, cut emissions, and lower operational costs across their manufacturing facility.

To support this, we carried out a comprehensive On-Site Energy & Carbon Opportunities Review to pinpoint where energy was being used, where waste was occurring, and where meaningful improvements could be made.

The challenge

Metallink’s manufacturing processes are energy-intensive and run continuously, meaning any efficiency improvements needed to be both practical and non-disruptive. The team were looking for a clear, evidence-based roadmap that aligned efficiency gains with their wider decarbonisation ambitions.

What we did

We undertook a detailed on-site review, observing real operational conditions and speaking with the team to understand how equipment, buildings, and processes were used day to day.

Our assessment included:

  • Identifying inefficiencies and hidden areas of energy waste
  • Assessing equipment performance and operational behaviours
  • Highlighting opportunities that offered strong returns with minimal disruption
  • Quantifying the carbon and cost savings for each recommended action

 

We then prioritised the opportunities based on impact, feasibility, and alignment with Metallink’s long-term strategy.

How it helped

The review revealed a range of actionable steps to reduce consumption, lower emissions, and improve operational efficiency. When combined with the now-installed and generating solar PV system, Metallink now has a cohesive energy strategy that supports immediate savings while building towards long-term sustainability goals.

They have helped us explore different renewable energy options for our site and identified ways to fund such projects. Their expertise has enabled us to achieve cost reductions, and I have found them to be fully transparent and trustworthy in all our dealings, which is rare in this industry.
Over the past 2-3 years, Pause People has been a great support for me and B&L. We’ve worked together to strategise different options for our business and collaborated on multiple projects. Their input and partnership have been invaluable, and I look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.
I found Pause People to be super easy to deal with. They handled the solar enquiry for our Client, in a friendly, efficient and professional manner, clearly outlining the costs, but more so, the projected financial benefit for having their solution installed. They really helped us to make a fully informed decision. I’m really pleased with work Pause People have done for us and highly recommend them.
