Howard Tenens was delighted to host a recent visit by the local MP for Barking & Dagenham, the Right Honourable Margaret Hodge MP to the Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) Ltd. sustainable warehouse at Voltaic in Dagenham, which will service the Olympic Park during 2012.

Following a presentation and guided tour of the 233,000 sq ft warehouse, which has a number of sustainable features including a ground source heat pump to provide heating and cooling systems, solar photovoltaic cells generating electricity, 15% skylights providing natural light reducing electricity usage, eco-friendly motion-sensored lighting and rain water harvesting, Margaret Hodge MP said, “I was so impressed by this fantastic operation. It is going to make a brilliant and essential contribution to the Olympics during 2012. It’s also great to see Howard Tenens, a successful family business, working in the Borough in partnership with Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd.”
