In Bridlington, Guy Newsom of Munton’s Malt explained the programmes which have resulted in his company being recently ranked number 41 in the Sunday Times list of top environmental companies in the UK. The recent investment of £4million in the Sewerby facility also demonstrated how environmental improvements also make sound business sense.
