Gear up for the ‘Green Revolution’ with FREE events

A series of free seminars to help companies in the East Midlands gear up for the green revolution have been organised over the next month.

The free seminars have been designed to support East Midlands’ construction companies, which are facing unprecedented pressures with both the economic downturn and the drive towards greener buildings and carbon reduction.

Understanding and adapting to increased environmental standards in building controls and new planning guidance is critical to the future success of construction companies. To help keep East Midlands companies stay competitive and ahead of the sustainability curve, a series of free seminars and case studies based on ‘live’ East Midlands sites will be running in July.

Industry leaders in the fields of waste management, energy, water management and master planning have been developing best practice guidance specifically aimed at the region’s small and medium sized construction businesses. They will present their findings at three free half day seminars where local companies can discuss and learn how to apply that best practice to their own businesses.

The seminars take place on:

  • Thursday 24 June at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Nottingham 2pm - 5pm.
  • Friday 25 June at Loughborough Innovation Centre from 10am - 1pm.
  • Tuesday 29 June at the Portfolio Centre, University of Northampton from 10am - 1pm.

All the events are free to attend and will include lunch and the opportunity to network with colleagues and advisors. To attend any of the seminars email Karin.Ferngren@northampton.ac.uk, indicating which event you would like to go to or for further details contact Paul Quinn on 01604 586614. Further information is also available on the attached flyer.

These events are supported by East Midlands Development Agency.
