Green Business Champion Adam Huttly was part of the fantastic Arun Creative and Digital "Retaining Customers" event last week. Adam is the founder of Red-Inc, a game-changing stationery supplier committed to people and planet. They’ve turned sustainability into a competitive edge, proving green business isn't just responsible - it's profitable. Adam shared insights into: ⭐ His journey setting up a purpose-driven business in a recession. ⭐ Embarking on a slow growth journey and asking: “can we inspire change in a whole sector?” ⭐ Challenging the assumption that people want cheaper stationery - when really, they just don't want change. ⭐ Creating USPs to win and retain customers. ⭐ Disrupting an industry with his sustainability ethos - and winning giant contracts against all odds as a result. ⭐ Being different and never conforming = 28% growth each year on average over past 6 years. ⭐ Talking about the vision rather than the product. ⭐ Becoming a B-Corp and really caring for customers. ⭐ Being authentic, confident and brave. #letsgonetzero_ws #sustainablebusiness West Sussex County Council Arun District Council Arun Business Partnership Awards Sam Zindel Lucy Bennett Miriam Nicholls Jo Carpenter Kerry Byott

Green Business Champions Bird and Blend sharing a cuppa with Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan and discussing London's Living Wage!
Mayor of London at Greater London Authority
This week I got to ‘spill the tea’ ☕ on London’s Living Wage and the difference it’s making to Londoners’ lives. I chatted with employees at Bird and Blend Tea in Islington and learned how the much-needed pay rise will help them. Make sure businesses in your community know about London’s Living Wage. So far, over 4000 have signed up across our city. I will continue to do everything I can to make London a fairer city for everyone. #CostofLiving #LivingWage #London
