Event Details

Join us at the BECBC Green Energy Group Launch Event!


We are really excited to invite you to the launch of our new Green Energy Group within BECBC on the 10th of October at Eco HQ.


With everything that's happening right now—£300 million being pumped into insulating homes, new legislation pushing for net zero, and a big focus on green jobs and wind technology—there's no better time to get involved. This group is all about turning these opportunities into action that benefits our businesses, our communities, and the environment.


We'll kick things off at 9:30am, and then at 10am, we'll dive into what sustainability really means for you, your business, and the county as a whole. We want to make sure the group focuses on what matters most to you, so this first session is all about getting your input on what we want to achieve together.


The plan is to meet every quarter, with plenty of chances to showcase what your business is doing—whether you're a large company or a small startup. We'll be sharing videos, discussing key topics, and learning from each other's experiences. This is your platform to share, learn, and make a difference.


So, whether you're passionate about the circular economy, looking to reduce your carbon footprint, or just want to keep up with the latest in sustainability and green energy, this group is for you.



I can't wait to see you on October 10th at Eco HQ. Let's get started on something great!
