A CREATIVE company is flying the green flag for Cumbria, as it helps promote the protection of the United Kingdom's natural landscapes.

Kendal based Creative Lakes have produced a new website, advertising and literature, for a company who are helping others lead the way in renewable energy.

Nevis Environmental are specialists who work with construction companies, particularly those building renewable energy projects, ensuring that environmental and ecology risks have been considered.

Neil Corrigan, the owner and managing director of Creative Lakes, said that the project has taught them huge amounts about the natural world.

"It has been a fascinating process to work with the team of ecology specialists," he said. "We have learned so much about bird and animal habitats, and about the impact of development on water courses."

As part of their work, the team did extensive marketing advisory and planning work, as well as learning about the greenery that the Nevis team are looking to protect.

Neil said that one of the most interesting features was learning about the work of ecologists looking after plants such as the alpine bearberry.

“This was completely new to us, but we learned that it’s the beautiful plant with edible berries and leaves which turn a spectacular shade of red in the autumn in the hilly moorland regions of Highland Scotland," Neil said. "One of the Nevis team works to ensure that the species will survive when contractors head to the hills to build essential wind turbines to maintain our power supplies.”

Colin Aimers, who works for Nevis Environmental, was hugely impressed with the work that the Kendal firm produced.

"Creative Lakes really took the time to understand our business and what we do," he said. "They have provided Nevis with great marketing advice and a stunning suite of marketing materials, including a website and literature which will help the company go from strength to strength and we look forward to our ongoing relationship with Neil and his team.”
