Next Level Thinking
Next Level Thinking – A Green Growth Platform Conference: Inspiration for business growth
An opportunity to step off the rollercoaster ride that is running your business and be inspired, gain insight from leading entrepreneurs and give time to your aspirations.
Take precious time out from your daily schedule and think about what could take you to the next level.
Who’s it for?
Green sector businesses and any business wanting to explore a more environmentally aware approach to growth. Specifically: Directors and owners, Marketing Managers, Business Development Managers, Supply Chain Managers, Designers, Innovators and R&D specialists.

- Ollie Pendered, Founding Member of Community Energy South, will speak on the quiet explosion of community energy in Sussex and the business model they have followed.
