Sustainable Office Strikes Gold With Green Apple Award
Morgan Lovell has been awarded the gold Green Apple accolade from the Green Organisation for its pioneering fit out of a sustainable office.
Representatives from Morgan Lovell travelled to the Houses of Parliament to collect the accolade. The company was among only a handful of organisations in the UK to achieve the top honour.
This is the third award in weeks Morgan Lovell has achieved for its pioneering work to create a green office at the company’s own London headquarters, located in Noel Street, Soho.
Developed in the unlikely setting of a 1960s block, the office is in the type of building that would normally be considered an environmental write-off.
The other awards won recently include a highly commended award in the ‘Best Practice In A Fit Out Project’ category, at the British Institute of Facilities Management Investors in FM Excellence awards.
Morgan Lovell also took a highly commended accolade in the Green Business Awards, in the ‘Best Construction or Property Business category.’
Earlier this year, the sustainable workplace achieved the highest BREEAM fit out environmental assessment score to date in the UK, and as a result received an award from the Building Research Establishment (BRE).
David Henderson, managing director of Morgan Lovell, said: “This green office project proves that it is possible to transform an old workplace into a model of sustainability.”
The Noel Street project has also been shortlisted in the PFM Awards and Building magazine’s 99% Campaign for Refurbishment, developed to find the best examples in the UK of carbon being cut in existing buildings.
The Green Organisation is an independent group, dedicated to promoting the positive side of environmental endeavour.

Green Apple Award for British Furniture Manufacturer
British furniture manufacturer HJ Berry has hit the double after scooping another accolade for its unique green formula.
The company, based in Lancashire’s Forest of Bowland, has secured a Green Apple Environment Award for its pioneering work.
Judges selected HJ Berry for its wide-ranging social and environmental programme. The award will be presented at the House of Commons in November.
HJ Berry’s programme includes low-cost homes for rent around its factory site, located in the picturesque village of Chipping, and a policy of using sustainable British-grown beech, ash, oak and other woods for its furniture.
The factory is heated with offcuts of wood and the company has even created extensive woodland in its grounds, where more than 20,000 trees have been planted - ready for use in furniture production in around 70 years’ time.
This is the second accolade in months for the business. In July, HJ Berry won the North West section of the National Business Awards. Sponsored by Orange and regarded as the ‘Oscars’ of British commerce, the company was successful in the Corporate Social Responsibility category.
HJ Berry Managing Director John Woodruffe said: “We’ve been working to protect the environment for decades now and this is starting to be recognised at a national level.
“We are delighted that our work has once again being rewarded. It’s an honour for all the team here.
“We find more and more customers are coming to us due to our green credentials and because we are a British manufacturer. Taking a more sustainable approach is not just good for the environment, it makes business sense for us too.”
The Green Apple awards now place HJ Berry into the European Business Awards, enabling the company to showcase its environmental approach on the European stage.
HJ Berry is also entered for the national finals of the British Business Awards, which take place in London in November.
The company started to produce furniture in 1840 and is believed to be the oldest chair manufacturer in the country.
Part of its factory is based within a mill once used by a pioneer of the Industrial Revolution, Sir Richard Arkwright.
The site still retains a waterwheel which powered the plant up to the 20th century.
