Building a Greener Fleet
Our mission is to reduce the carbon footprint of the commercial sector through sustainable builds, renewable energy and minimal waste.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
We are dedicated to reducing our environmental impact through innovative engineering and responsible manufacturing processes.
Biomass Boilers
We have installed 2 biomass boilers, complete with a high-pressure water system which directs heat into our workshops through roof mounted fans. Heat is generated by the high temperature clean burning of waste wood from our production process that, would otherwise become landfill waste.
We’re also proud of the fact that, in place of LPG gas, some of the heat generated is used in our modern paint spray booths – a policy we initiated, which was a first in the world of commercial vehicle body shops.
Solar Energy
During the extension of our workshop in 2016 we took the decision to install solar panels on the new roof. The panels have allowed us to significantly reduce our energy bills and our carbon footprint.
Reduced Vehicle Movement
Martin Williams is a true “One stop shop”. where a vehicle can come for a body fitting, full paint and livery and be ready to go direct to the customer. We even have manufacturers carrying out the vehicle PDI’s on our site to cut down on time and movements. One movement to us can cut out three or four to other suppliers.
“Cut miles, cut emissions — with MW Hull as your single, sustainable supplier.”

Recycling & Materials
Our day to day operations require a lot of raw materials and we are committed to being responsible with our waste.
Biodegradable Materials
Our ecologically-friendly spray systems contain no VOCs (volatile organic compounds), toxic metal pigments, solvents or slow-release reagents.
Recycling
We are committed to recycling wherever possible. All our waste is segregated and the vast majority is sent for recycling. We also actively encourage our suppliers to think about the amount of packaging they use when sending materials to us.
Battery Systems
Our battery systems allow operators to run machinery independently of the vehicles engine eliminating the need to idle the engine to get the job done.
