8: The Craggs gets ready for its first tennant!!

Hello there! It's been over a week since my last blog so its definitely time for an update! As usual it has been busy busy with lots happening all over the place. As many of you may know we are currently processing Planning Permission for Thornber Energy. Chris held a visitors day last weekend for any local neighbours to come and have a look at whats going on and to ask any questions that may be of concern etc This went really well and lots of points were addressed, the feedback was all really positive so fingers crossed that this process runs smoothly for us. We have also appointed a new financial director in the name of Rachel Denison (I will be doing a meet the team blog sometime next month!)

The two bottom units are well under way now, so much so that we have moved our first tennant in today!! All very exciting stuff as the new unit looks brand spanking new and now we have it being used for business we can all start to see how The Craggs is going to evolve over the next few months.

We also have a car park which has just been created this week, never realised how much concrete was required to do this sort of stuff!! You would never have known that a couple of weeks ago this lovely car park was a big mucky hole - good work guys!


I have been taking a particular interest into Social Media for the past couple of weeks and have been facebooking, blogging, flickring, tweeting and listening in to all sorts of media avenues available on the internet! It has really intrigued me as to how many of us out there are involved in the local network online. Most of the business contacts and people I have met over the past two months have been discovered via twitter or other social media means which is really amazing.

Hopefully as the weather starts to improve we will have some sunnier shots coming through the blog - next week I will be impressing you all with a time lapse photography video so watch out for that but until then have a great weekend and keep following!!

7: Technology hits The Craggs

This week we have a new camera that has been fitted, which is taking regular pictures of a bird's eye view of the site. Hopefully over the next coming months we will be able to create videos on the changing face of The Craggs Country Business Park. This photo slideshow below is a look at whats been going on this week.




In other news, the roof has been fitted to one of the units, which helps with all the rain that has been hitting Cragg Vale this week! It also enables the visitors to envisage how the site might look in the future! The team of local labourers have had the dirty job of clearing out the 'soon to be' car park for the proposed Thornber Energy (subject to planning permission. It involved lots of digging and shovelling in pretty unpleasant conditions so well done to the guys who worked on this!

As well as communicating via the blog, twitter and facebook we have also decided to hold a visitors day where the local neighbours can come and have a look at the work we are doing up at The Craggs - so if you are a local and you are interested in coming to see what all the fuss is about then email me at jessica@cvc-ltd.co.uk! x

6: Thornber Energy

News this week!

We have the name - Thornber Energy and now we have the logo (subject to planning approval)!! We are really happy with this logo as we think it really represents the company and its values. Green Energy! We are still working on The Craggs Logo but it will be coming soon. I've been busy making friends on twitter this week and realising how powerful it can be! We met someone on twitter that was hiding in Sowerby Bridge and if it wasn't for twitter we wouldn't have known they exist! Its brilliant getting to know the local business network and what's happening around the local area.

Other news there has been lots of development on the site - such as new roofing and panels being fitted. The sun finally came out this week so we managed to get a perfect picture of the new roofing!

Let me know via twitter or facebook what you all think of the new logo and any other comments you may have!
