Some of the things they have said about us
“This programme reflects Eden’s ambition to plan strategically not only for the future of the company but its future within our communities and environment. We are confident that with the help of SEG and the already vibrant interaction of the participating organisations, we will be positioned not simply to achieve the BS8901 standard but to do so with an enviable level of understanding and commitment.”                
Hugh Walker, MD, Eden Caterers


“The open nature of the workshops means that we are not only learning about sustainability and BS 8901 from the SEG trainers but we are also learning from each other and this in turn is providing real insight into how we can work more effectively and sustainably across the supply chain.”                
James Mark, Group Head of Event Management Excel London


“The programme enables a small but fast growing business like mine to take the lead on sustainability and the tools provided by SEG are invaluable in providing a head start.”
Adam Conn, MD Close Circuit

“Our clients are already talking about BS 8901 and we expect that conforming to this new standard will soon become a minimum requirement to do business in the events industry. We want to be well prepared to meet this eventuality and this programme provides us with the perfect opportunity to be amongst the leaders in achieving BS 8901.”
Craig Dews, Managing Director of Limelight Sports

“Our work with the Sustainable Events Group is a natural extension of the progress that innovision and its clients have been making towards a more sustainable event management model.”                                 
Claudia Douglass, Operations Director of innovision
