Jobs boost as wind power firm grows
The award-winning Wetherby company that already employs 28 staff in Yorkshire and in its other UK offices is now looking to recruit an additional account manager to strengthen its existing team along with five sales and technical support staff.
“We are growing at a rapid pace,” said Mr Milner, who launched the company in 2009, and also geared up for expansion by securing more than £4m of city investment in September last year.

“An increasing number of farmers are recognising that a turbine on their land can not only give them an annual income but the ability to reduce their own electricity costs. A turbine will generate significant levels of power for a farm’s own use with any extra being fed into the National Grid.”
A small-scale wind turbine can reduce a farm’s electricity bill by as much as £40,000 a year for high energy users as well as provide a rental income for 20 years and demand for the turbines has been rising fast over the past two years.
“The past year has been pretty phenomenal and one in which Earthmill established itself as the UK’s leading supplier of agricultural wind turbines,” added Mr Milner.
