Sustainability
Business Support Kent has specialised in understanding and working with small and medium sized companies to help them cut their bills through resource efficiency, manage their risks and find ways to use their Green Credentials to get new business.
We know what makes small businesses take these issues on…we know the words not to use and how to talk ‘business’. Over the last 5 years we have spoken to over 9000 companies directly, listened to their problems and found ways to help them get started on their own sustainable business journey.
Our expertise is in translating ‘government’ policy and world imperatives and making sure this makes sense to people who have many other urgent problems to deal with too.
