Actually we get to keep the trophy. Stone Circle Livery, as Kent's Environment Business of the year 2007/2008, were at the awards to see the award handed to the new Environmet Champion of Kent for 2009. It was a great evening hosted by former BBC South East Today presenter Geoff Clark. The picture shows Susi and Paul at the awards.
A 16th century pub, the Rose & Crown in Selling, near Faversham, beat off stiff competition to land the award at the Environment Awards for Kent Business black tie ceremony, which took place at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park on Thursday, September 24 2009. They have reduced waste by 70 per cent which means that 80,000 litres of waste has been recycled rather than going to landfill. Electricity usage has been reduced by 19.2 per cent, which equates to a saving of nine tonnes of carbon. By including green alternatives in the company’s business plan, gross profit margins have increased six to nine per cent year on year. Congratulations go to the Rose & Crown for all their hard work - it is an amazing achievement.
Five theme winners were chosen from a shortlist of 12. Awards were given to: Maidstone Leisure Centre (for environmental engagement), Ashford-based GSE Haulage (for innovative partnerships); H+H UK, based in Borough Green, (for achievements in resource efficiency), Dover-based John Shirley Ltd (for commitment to the environment); and Tunbridge Wells based Real Hair & Beauty (for sustainable business management).
