Suffolk Sustainable Transport Forum Recruitment Event

Suffolk Sustainable Transport Forum Recruitment Event

8:30 - 12:30 Friday 9th November 2012

The Suffolk Sustainable Transport Forum was set up five years ago by business for business in order to disseminate information about sustainable transport and assist fellow businesses in adopting efficient and practical solutions. The forum is free to join and consciously free-form in order to promote networking and assistance. Since its founding the forum has grown and now encompasses other large organisations. Membership includes BT, The Port of Felixstowe, University Campus Suffolk and Ipswich Hospital.

Lord Deben (John Gummer), recently appointed Chairman of the UK's Climate Change Committee and former Minister for the Environment, will be making the keynote speech. Norman Baker MP Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport will be addressing the conference via video. Furthermore Heather McInroy Programme Director at the National Business Travel Network will be speaking as well as two more leading speakers to be confirmed.

We are grateful to our four principal sponsors - The East of England Co-op, Ipswich Building Society and Suffolk Chamber of Commerce. The Haven Gateway Partnership is also sponsoring the event and they will be available to discuss the innovative Low Carbon Freight Dividend project that provides cash incentives for modal shift amongst local SME’s. James Alexander of ‘The Main Ingredient’ will provide refreshments and the event will be facilitated by radio presenter Rachel Sloane.

The atrium of Endeavour House, the venue, will be full of stalls from some of the sponsors but also a number of leading green businesses with practical demonstrations.

All in all this exclusive event, places will be limited to 75, will be one to enjoy and remember. If you would like to attend please R.S.V.P. to Sharon Payne of Fresh Ways to Work on 01473 265090, or e-mail sharon.payne@suffolk.gov.uk by 26^th October.
