Prosperity, Potential, Planet: Solutions for your business

On Thursday 12 September, businesses were invited to join us at Prosperity, Potential, Planet: Solutions for your business, an event explaining how going green can help local businesses become more profitable, develop new markets all while making beneficial changes for the planet and their bottom line.

The event was as a focused exhibition with expert speakers and lots of networking opportunities. The event aimed to support local businesses on their journey to sustainability, with up to 25 businesses and organisations exhibiting in the marquee throughout the day. Alongside this, sustainability experts and local businesses were invited to share their knowledge and experiences through speaker sessions, offering attendees useful insights into how others are benefitting from the journey towards net zero.
