- Developing green credentials that make a business stand out from the rest
- Investing in sustainable practices that will save businesses money
- The chance to make a positive impact on local communities, people and the environment
- Recruitment & building resilience into workforces to withstand future challenges
- How to capture young audiences & tell Buckinghamshire’s story through its attractions, places and history
- Designing accessible attractions, locations and websites to ensure disabled customers and those with neurodevelopmental disorders are never left behind
This event was part of Visit Buckinghamshire: Boost, a programme of support being delivered in partnership by Visit Buckinghamshire, Buckinghamshire Business First and Buckinghamshire Council, and funded by the UK Government through the UK Community Renewal Fund.
