Event: Business Networking Breakfast, Haywards Heath

Part of the Utilise Plus events and grant funding programme.

18th April 2018, 08:00 to 11:00, Haywards Heath.

Join us at Mid Sussex District Council for a Business Networking Breakfast. These events are a great way to build your energy-saving knowledge by hearing from expert speakers, being inspired by real-life case studies, and networking with others over a pastry and coffee!

Hear from Thaddeus Dell of SAS Energy, who will talk about solar energy technologies and battery storage solutions; and Anya Ledwith of Eshcon, who will talk about how to use carbon footprinting to highlight an organisation’s most significant emission reductions.
