RIPE Building Services Ltd was established to address critical issues faced by global clients in the horticulture sector, including growers, environmentally focused investment funds, and forward-thinking horticulturists. The company's collaborative approach focuses on maximising yield through sustainable productivity, differentiating them and driving success. They offer a comprehensive suite of services, encompassing design consultancy, project management, and turnkey solutions.
This allows them to assist clients in achieving their vision and optimising commercial productivity efficiently and cost-effectively. RIPE specialises in innovative growing solutions, particularly advanced ETFE growing environments, aiming to bring together innovation and nature for greater returns on greenhouse investments. A notable project is the Natural Light Growing Centre in Warwick, England.
This facility is the first of its kind globally, designed to harness the full spectrum of natural daylight for crop cultivation. Unlike traditional glasshouses, it uses patented nano surface treated ETFE glazing and lightweight construction, allowing for rapid assembly in various weather conditions without concrete foundations, and ensuring crop safety by eliminating the risk of shattering glass.
