Paper Round, in partnership with Carbon Smart, is delighted to offer free expert advice to help grow your bottom line using your environmental credentials.
How would you like to:

• Increase tender opportunities?
• Boost your bottom line?
• Network with other businesses in the construction sector?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then look no further!
We are inviting SME construction sector businesses to join us as we share top tips, increase your tender opportunities and open doors to enable your business to win new business. Here is what is in store:
*Meet the buyer: Meet with local authority officers as they give you an insight on how to make your tenders stand out from the crowd
*10% savings: Identify practical steps to help reduce your resources by 10%
*Networking: Open new doors, network with other construction businesses and share best practice
* Low carbon opportunities: Find out how to diversify your own offering and enter new markets
* Environmental policy: We will help you to write one (if you don’t already have one) or help make your existing policy even better
* Environmental reporting: Receive expert help to quantify your carbon footprint and supporting materials to show you are serious about what you do
* Recognition: Be rewarded and nationally recognised for your efforts
Come along and learn how you can go beyond recycling and reap the benefits during one of our highly engaging workshops:
