Two electric charging points are now fully operational in the Rutland Street car park, supplied by Rexel, the units are available for use 24 hours a day by anyone visiting the firm as well as all employees.

Christeyns marketing manager Jon Walker said: “We are seeing an increasing number of electric cars on the roads and we now have several electric and hybrid vehicles in our own fleet.  The installation of these new charging points will provide reassurance and make it easier for our visitors and staff to recharge.”
