SUMMARY:Green for Growth - Online Session
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a FREE zoom session to discuss some of the practical steps your business can take to reduce your carbon footprint and Grow Greener \nWe’ll be joined by Jacqui Redman\, Training Coordinator at Trelleborg Sealing Solutions\, who will share some some of the steps Trelleborg have taken on their journey to Net Zero and answer your questions. \nThis session is intended to be conversational so please come along ready to share your experiences\, ideas and questions with other fellow businesses. \nWhen? Thursday 3rd November\, 11 to 12 \nWhere? Zoom. Please register with your e-mail address & a link will be sent to you before the event date. \nWhy? In June 2019\, the UK Government committed to reducing the UK’s net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 100% by 2050\, compared to 1990 levels. This target is known as net zero\, and milestones towards moving to a net zero emissions economy are now set down in UK law. By encouraging sectors\, industries\, organisations and individuals to work together in cutting carbon emissions\, the hope is that\, over the coming decades\, the UK can achieve its net zero ambitions and\, as a consequence\, help reduce global warming and the effects of climate change. Going green can boost your competitiveness\, lower costs\, and boost your business’s reputation with your customers and staff.

SUMMARY:Protecting your business from Cyber Crime
DESCRIPTION:Is your business shielded from potential Cyber crime? \nCyber is dauting for small businesses and sole traders. It’s hard to know where to start\, services can be expensive\, and it’s not always obvious who you can trust. The South West Cyber Resilience Centre (SWCRC) aims to solve all of these problems.   \nRoss Brown\, Head of Cyber and Innovation at the South West Cyber Resilience Centre\, will talk about some of the biggest cyber threats to businesses\, the practical steps that you can take to protect your business from cyber threats and the way The South West Cyber Resilience Centre can support you and your business for FREE   \n  \nLunch and refreshments will be provided –  Any special dietary requirements should be included on the booking form   \n  \nThe South West Cyber Resilience Centre is led by serving police officers\, as part of a not-for-profit partnership with business and academia. Because we’re funded by the Home Office\, regional policing and private businesses\, we don’t need to make money from our members. We think we’re unique in being able to provide something to protect the small businesses and charities who don’t have the resources or knowledge to protect themselves from cybercrime.

One that would bring together some of the greatest business minds to solve some of the biggest economic and environmental challenges we are facing and enhance the economic growth of the South West of England as well as the UK. \nSalamanca wanted to build more than just bricks and mortar packaged up as an enterprise hub.

During this period\, it was a significant production facility through wartime and peace.  Social clubs\, sports teams and community events were the norm. \nBuilding on its manufacturing past\, buzz of activity and community spirit\, Gravity will once again become an employment hub supporting an active ecosystem of businesses in a desirable environment.
