Seamer

The Seamer store of the Proudfoot Group family was the very first store opened. It was opened by Wilf Proudfoot in 1948, and has since become a role model convenience store leading the way in reducing its carbon footprint.

The last of the transformations took place in 2007 where the shop was fitted with energy efficient freezer and refrigeration units.

The building was insulated to a very high standard and sky tunnels where used to harness natural light onto the shop floor, thus significantly reducing the electrical consumption. The Seamer Eco store also houses the local post office.

The Proudfoot Groups, Seamer Eco-Store has won many accolades and awards for its green credentials, such as the “Retail Industry Award for Environmental Retailer of the year independent” and “Warbutons Community Awards, Green Retailer Award”.
