East Anglian firms urged to embrace green growth

Posted 30/05/2012

Companies based in East Anglia have been told they ought to work together on green growth.Chairman of the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership Andy Wood reminded 200 attendees of the Business Opportunities conference in the John Innes Centre, Norwich, that collaboration is key for firms to be successful in this area.”Unless we pool our resources we are going to be unlikely to be able to compete effectively,” he was quoted as saying by the Eastern Daily Press.”Individually we have great assets. Let’s work together,” he said.Graeme Leach, the Institute of Directors’ chief economist, also spoke at the event, while leader of South Norfolk District Council John Fuller stated there is a chance to redefine what being green means.Jane Lovell, co-founder and joint managing director of Cooper Lomaz, previously told the news provider that East Anglia is home to a number of new renewable energy projects.Posted by Hywel Griffiths
