As part of Inspired Pet Nutrition’s plans to modernise its facilities and a further demonstration of their commitment to sustainability an online auction was held last month to sell off surplus machinery and grain silos.
Last year the pet food company released ‘A Positive Pawprint’ plan, that laid out a number of goals, including using recyclable packaging, planting a tree for each of their near-300 employees and remaining carbon negative, a status they achieved during 2020.
Inspired Pet Nutrition appointed leading machinery and business assets disposal specialists Sanderson Weatherall to value the assets and oversee the online auction which took place last month.
“In true Yorkshire tradition we wanted to ensure that nothing went to scrap or was wasted and we’re delighted with the results of February’s auction. Some of the lots had been installed in the 1990s at our original pet food site, that we fondly refer to as Topcliffe Mill and it’s great that these pieces of equipment will find new homes to support new stories and development opportunities, just as they have helped IPN for the last 25 years or so.”
