Andel invited to attend sustainable infrastructure conference in New Zealand

The UK’s leading developer of specialised leak detection, water sustainability and environmental protection systems, Andel, was invited to attend a conference in New Zealand focused on solutions to deliver sustainable infrastructure and customer-centric energy.

The Yorkshire SME which specialises in water, oil and gas leak detection systems to protect the built and natural environment was invited to take part in the Electric Engineers Association (EEA) an event which brings together thought leaders, technical and engineering experts and influencers from across the energy industry to focus on finding solutions for a sustainable future.

The Barnsley-based global environmental protection specialist has more than 30 years of experience in leak detection, pollution prevention and flood defence and an impressive customer base that includes the Houses of Parliament, The Pentagon, Hong Kong International Airport and Google and has links to the area through its distributor in Australia, Pump Power.
The invitation came on the back of success at the CIGRE Conference and commercial director, Mark Harris, said: “This invitation not only validates the impact of our work but also opens new avenues for expanding Andel's influence in the region.

“We had scores of visitors to our stand expressing interest in our products and while our product, BundGuard has already garnered significant attention, our latest innovations, ReBund and the Cold Fusion Membrane, have sparked further interest. The technological advancements we are introducing have captured the attention of stakeholders, not just within Australasia but also across the broader Pacific Rim region.

“The growing interest in Andel's innovation and product offering is a testament to the potential to revolutionise the industry, and the opportunity to present said products on a larger stage at the EEA Conference marks a pivotal moment for our company. This momentum fuels our ambition to continue exploring and expanding the reach into new markets, as we build connections and drive adoption of these groundbreaking solutions throughout Australasia, the Pacific Rim, and beyond.”

In 2020, the company took the bold decision to become Net Zero by 2025 and in 2022 took on a Net Zero and Sustainability Coordinator to facilitate and oversee the initiatives required to meet the target. The team then scooped the Sustainable/ Ethical Manufacturing award at Made in Sheffield after the company also won the Sustainable/ Ethical Manufacturer award at Insider's 2024 Made in Yorkshire Awards and the Sustainability Award at the Barnsley and Rotherham Business Awards at the end of last year and had two entries into the Made in UK final awards.
