A TIVERTON-based renewables company has teamed up with Devon Wildlife Trust to help fund the charity's conservation work.

TRECO, which produces a range of biomass and wood chip boilers, has this month received its Corporate Supporter certificate from the Trust.

The company, based on Tiverton Business Park, has become the latest of nearly 100 businesses across the county to recognise the important work protecting fragile local habitats and species.

TRECO managing director Gordon Traill said: "We are proud to be corporate sponsors of the Devon Wildlife Trust and support all the important work they do for our county.

"Sustainability at local, national and global level is being recognised as imperative for the future of us all."

The scheme which partners businesses with the conservation group is run by Devon Wildlife Trust's Tracy Ebbrell. She said: "It is great that TRECO has opted to join our scheme and we are excited about what advice and support it can offer DWT in the coming years."
