Fast Forward presents: A Lean Green Business Forum
Fast Forward is hosting a ‘Lean Green Business Forum’ on the 4th July, 5.30-7.30pm at New College Swindon.
This is the second in a series of forums Fast Forward have hosted, and this event is supported by the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, Aligra Personnel and LSIS (the Learning and Skills Improvement Service).
The event will focus on two key areas to help local business continue to thrive in the recovering economic market – growing your own talent and reducing your carbon footprint.
BEING LEAN: The business forum will look into the efficiency and productivity benefits, and recruitment savings, when companies employ an apprentice. Key speakers will be Andy Rowlatt and Daniel Knapp of Aligra Personnel, who will be able to discuss first hand knowledge of expanding your workforce with apprentices, both from the employer and apprentice viewpoint.
BEING GREEN: Industry expert Mark O’Neill will be sharing best practice and top tips on practical ways to reduce costs and the carbon footprint of your business. Mark, in conjunction with the BCS, has been responsible for creating the first formally accredited training course for Green IT – the Foundation Certificate in Green IT (www.bcs.org/greenit).
New College is also paving the way in ‘being green’ and working in partnership with a consortium of colleges, including Exeter College and Weymouth College, on a new ‘Lean Green IT Machine’ initiative, supported by LSIS. This new initiative aims to help Further Education colleges share their knowledge and expertise in Green IT with the local business community. Not only will this result in money saved on IT and related energy costs at a time when businesses are under pressure to cut back, but it will ensure that the impact of IT on the environment is minimised.
On the night, delegates will be able to pose direct questions to Mark, Andy and Daniel. There will be the opportunity for delegates to network during refreshments, and information will be provided on key training and development solutions from Fast Forward. There will also be the opportunity on the night for delegates to enter a competition to win £100 Green Rewards Voucher www.greenrewards.co.uk.
Sinclair Brown, Business Services Manager at Fast Forward said: “We hope this event provides many local businesses with the ideas and information to grow their business, and continue to save money wherever possible. We’re delighted that experts in their fields Mark, Andy and Daniel will be on hand during the evening, and we hope this evening has something to offer everyone who attends, and will provide valuable networking alongside practical advice and information.”
