Why YorPower Is The Trusted Back-Up Power Provider
Back-up power is vital for businesses of all kinds; any power outage, however brief, can have disastrous effects. A back-up power source, whether a generator or a UPS unit, ensures business owners and managers can maintain optimum output and never worry about letting their customers down. In certain sectors, such as healthcare, constant power can be the difference between life and death. Trust is all-important.
Businesses of all kinds must be able to trust their back-up power provider not only to provide a reliable system – whether that is a diesel generator or an uninterruptible power supply unit – but to deliver a PPM (planned preventative maintenance) package that constantly looks ahead to ensure potential issues are headed off before they happen.
Introducing YorPower
YorPower is a group of companies comprising YorPower Projects, which is well known as a manufacturer and exporter of generators; YorPower Maintenance, which can be relied upon for its maintenance expertise in the UK by customers in a diverse range of sectors; YorPower Controls, the controls and automation arm of the group; and YorPower Spares, for the global and UK distribution of spare parts. All are housed in one premises in Sherburn-in-Elmet, Leeds.
The vision statement of the group is: “Be the most trusted provider of UPS, Generator and Control Panel solutions.” Each individual in all parts of the group is focused on delivering on this statement. The values that sit beneath this are Respect and Integrity, Constant Improvements and Profit and Prosperity. As an organisation, YorPower cannot be the most trusted unless every individual is acting as a member of the most trusted organisation. Extensive one-to-one sessions between Group Managing Director Stephen Peal and his staff have ensured everyone is working as one family unified in instilling trust in their customers.
As a result, customers nationwide and internationally have come to depend on their service.
Trust In All Areas
Trust means going way beyond the basic transaction of supplying machines on time and to budget. YorPower views trust as ensuring its customers never have to even think about their power failing. Their trust in the YorPower team is so implicit, they know that measures have been taken not only to supply the right back-up power hardware but to design a comprehensive preventative maintenance package that replaces parts before they break – not when they reach the end of their lifespan and risk a power outage.
The benefits of this approach are: reduced downtime, as any possible failure will be averted; saving money, as downtime equates to lost money and PPM avoids downtime; improved performance, as cleaner units with newer parts run more efficiently; and increased productivity, because with no power outages work can continue interrupted.
Trust means that customers know they can rely on YorPower to deliver value for money. That comes from the group’s culture of fair pricing. Like any other business, YorPower needs to make a living, but all product mark-ups are fixed within their system; this never varies and is not subject to variation or individual enterprise.
Trust also means that customers can be sure that YorPower continually invests in the latest technology. At the same time, customers can look to YorPower to bring through the next generation of engineers. As members of the 5% Club, 5% of YorPower’s employees are apprentices. This applies to the wider team, including office staff, developing young people into well-rounded professionals who will grow with the company.
Trust That Solutions Are Sustainable
Customers can also trust YorPower to deliver back-up power solutions that are sustainable. Working with Neutral Carbon Zone, the company is on the way to becoming carbon neutral. On 18th April it achieved Silver Accreditation. This means that all scope 1, 2 and 3 of the organisational emissions at the YorPower Group have been calculated in accordance with ISO 14064 and the GHG Protocol corporate standard and have been offset using ICROA approved carbon offset credit to ensure its currently unavoidable emissions have been balanced.
YorPower has now started to focus on its operational emissions. The next phase includes a Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) based program that identifies the emissions of its services to ensure that all operational emissions have been calculated, reduced wherever possible, reported on and balanced to ensure that the services provided to its clients are fully carbon managed. The company’s aim is to achieve complete carbon neutrality for all business and service emissions.
Once YorPower has these calculations, it will only deliver services within the UK that include carbon offsetting. All staff are excited to be on this journey and hope to complete all four phases within the next year, making YorPower the first full carbon neutral company in their industry.
