CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Although we're not quite big enough to be considered 'corporate' just yet, we work hard to reduce the environmental impact of our business and are proud supporters of a great regional charity.
Children's Adventure Farm Trust
The Children's Adventure Farm Trust provides holiday breaks and activities for over 1,000 terminally ill, disabled and disadvantaged children every year. Facilities at the trust's converted farmhouse in Millington (Cheshire) include a multi-sensory suite, adventure playground, games room, pond and nature trail, go-karting track and a sports hall.
We have provided financial and professional support to the trust for over a decade. The charity is wholly funded by donations.

We follow the 'reduce, reuse, recycle' approach to minimising our environmental impact. Some of our efforts are detailed below. Last year, we secured a Manchester City Council Environmental Business Pledge Award in recognition of our work and we're always looking for ways to make further improvements.

- Introducing a print policy to reduce unnecessary paper consumption.
- Equipping the office with Brother MFC-9840CDW multi-function printers that print on both sides of paper – almost halving our paper use.
- Recycling all office paper and the hundreds of newspapers and magazines we read through a government-backed scheme.
- Signing a lease on new offices that commit the business to Manchester city centre so that 90% of our team can continue to commute to work on public transport, saving 52,000 road miles and c.14 tonnes of carbon emissions a year.
- Providing the infrastructure for our team to work from home.
