Hoben International takes great pride in their local community with 90% of their 60 person workforce residing in the surrounding area.
Over the years Hoben has helped to support the local community in
Brassington by sponsoring various village acitivites; such as new sports
ground, roof repairs, the village pond project and of course, the Brasson
Banter.
Council Carpark
Subject to approval of Hoben International’s renewable energy scheme
we would also propose to improve the council owned car park on
Manystone Lane. This would then accommodate more cars to ease
congestion of the lane and allowing safer passage for walkers when going to and from their cars.
To facilitate this bigger car park Hoben International would donate a small piece of land adjacent to where the council owned car park is currently situated, Hoben will also work with the council to provide the material to create a suitable surface for the car park.
The car park would go across the front of this land, therefore not disturbing the pond and it’s wildlife, with two openings for ease of entrance and exiting.
By providing between 35 – 50 new parking spaces in a more established car park the people parking on the road and the surrounding area should severely drop, easing congestion for everyone.

Noise Reduction
Hoben are aware that noise is emitted by their operation and have already removed one of the issues. The remaining noise has been pin pointed to a high speed fan within their milling operation. Cautious of the noise, a plan has been made to replace this with new technology utilising compressed air, thus reducing the noise level.
The cost of this process change is expensive at £50,000 and also very energy intensive compared to the high speed fan. Without generating our own green energy the plans would contradict our stance on the environment and also reverse our drive to reduce our emissions, but with our own ground mount solar system and wind turbines the process change is feasible. The additional cost in energy alone is not feasible for our business without low cost energy.
