Summary of the plan
The 25 Year Environment Plan sets out a vision for a quarter-of-a-century of action to help the natural world regain and retain good health. It pledges to refresh the plan every five years, a commitment set into law in the Environment Act 2021. The new document represents the first such review reinforcing the intent and setting out the framework, vision, and the plan to deliver. This plan is very exciting for us as a business and the industry as a whole, as we are all working to achieve the same aims and goals together.


To achieve the vision, the plan sets ten goals. They have continued to use these ten goals as the basis for this document.It sets out the progress made against all ten, the specific targets and commitments made in relation to each goal, and the plan to continue to deliver these targets and the overarching goals. In accordance with Goal 2 of the plan, Percy Doughty’s range of DEFRA approved appliances for use in smoke-controlled areas already operate at levels far below the proposed new limit of 3g per hour.

Andrew Mulligan managing Director said, “Percy Doughty is committed to refining all new appliance designs, through new innovative technologies, making stoves extremely efficient, and further exceed the new permitted smoke levels set out in the welcomed environmental improvement plan.”

Important to note: that the Government is not considering a ban on domestic burning in England. The UK government recognises that some households are reliant on solid fuel burning as a primary source for heating, hot water and cooking, with this in mind government is not seeking to ban burning. A ban on domestic outdoor burning (bonfires, barbecues, firepits etc.) would also be considered disproportionate.

Over the last decade, the company has undergone a huge transformation.

Commenting on the anniversary, Chairman Ron Ricketts, said “We are delighted to be celebrating our 70th Anniversary this year.Since joining the Company back in 1978, it's been a pleasure to watch it grow and evolve into what it is today.

Fast forward 45 years the company looks quite different to how it looked 70 years ago however, our family ethos and values remain at the heart of the company. We’ll always be proud of our roots – forever humble and yet deeply proud of where we are today.”

Andrew Mulligan Managing Director added “Together we have created a successful business through hard work, relationships, family values and amazing teamwork. We pride ourselves on our professional standards, technical excellence, and strong client relations, which may be why many of our clients have remained with us since the early years.
