The Let’s Talk Sustainable Business Growth session will take place on Friday,
September 29, between 8.30am and 11am, at the NBI on University of
Wolverhampton’s Springfield Campus (WV10 0JP).
Attendees will hear from professionals and experts at the university, City of
Wolverhampton Council and leading UK building, infrastructure, engineering
and fit-out company Tilbury Douglas, on how Wolverhampton is leading the
region’s green growth agenda, the opportunities for the construction sector
and businesses in the supply chain, and the support available for businesses
through the facilities at the NBI and university.
The NBI forms part of the university’s built-environment super campus and is
working with academics and businesses to develop new methods of
construction and ways of regenerating contaminated land. It offers bespoke,
fully funded support to local, regional and national businesses for brownfield
remediation, regeneration and development.
Professor Chaminda Pathirage, Associate Head of School for Research and
Professor of Brownfield Research and Innovation in the School of Architecture
and Built Environment at the University of Wolverhampton, said: “Given the
significant contributions the built environment could make towards the UK’s
sustainable construction agenda, it is paramount your business develops and
drives sustainable construction practices forward. As a university, we are
committed and eager to support businesses in achieving sustainability
ambitions and we look forward to welcoming them to this informative session
taking place at the National Brownfield Institute.”
City of Wolverhampton Council Director of Regeneration, Richard Lawrence,
added: “Wolverhampton is at the heart of green technologies. Businesses
who are in the construction industry and those who supply products and
services to the construction sector should not miss this informative networking
session taking place at Wolverhampton’s new National Brownfield Institute.”
The University is also holding two other events at its Springfield Campus on
Wednesday, September 27 as part of Wolverhampton Business Week:
Protecting your business against cyber attack (9am-12pm) at the School of
Architecture and Built Environment, and Green Marketing Workshop for SMEs
(2pm-4pm) at the NBI.
