That’s right, you heard it “FREE”. The guys at betre have organised an up-and-coming management day event that will help tighten, polish and give your business model the good old Green once over maintenance check.
The agenda has been set for Wednesday 26th May 2010, 9am until 5pm – Newhaven.
This is an intensive day course, looking to cover a lot of Green ground, with the aim of motivating you and your business to prepare for the forecasted changes in our business and environmental climates. Some of the day’s objectives include; helping businesses become more resilient to fluctuations in energy prices; providing a half-day workshop to demonstrate how to calculate your current carbon footprint; and to introduce the wealth of benefits brought about by renewable energy.
Speakers include the Carbon Trust, Business Link, Climate South East, Envirowise, and local Sussex businesses.

Still not convinced? Here’s what local business owner Kate Mylrea has to say:
‘The BETRE course inspired us to make huge changes to the way we ran our business. Not only did we learn about our carbon footprint, we were able to reduce it with some very easy changes and we saved money each year. We got a lot of support from the team with suggestions and contacts. I would recommend anyone who wants to be more sustainable and save money to go on one of the courses.’ Kate Mylrea, Manor Farm Oast, an award-winning B&B.
