Help create a forest garden of well-being
In 2019 we will begin work to create a 5 acre forest garden near to Stratford upon Avon. The special place will be open to all and used for teaching, well-being and outdoor events. We are working with Forest of Hearts, a small environmental charity based near Stratford upon Avon. You can get involved and help to create a lasting green legacy in the heart of England.

Doing well. Doing Good. How adi Group do it.
Great to be working with adi Group who showcase success stories which demonstrate over £600,000 as a return on investment since last year’s conference. Ninety innovative, focused and energetic leaders of adi Group report back on their 100 Continuous Improvement initiatives which help this successful Midlands company to continue to grow and thrive. As a means of demonstrating their commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, they donate £500 to the Forest of Hearts to help plant 100 trees in this new charity dedicated to creating sustainable agroforestry (Forest Garden) projects. As if that isn’t enough, by succeeding in a One Team challenge, adi Group commit to donating £1980 to the Helping Little Hearts campaign. All is a day’s fun with EventCow! Well done adi Group!!

Bellagio Stone – Bringing life to Monday mornings!
Cathy Wilkinson comments, “When we originally signed up for the Growth Accelerator scheme, we were somewhat dubious as to the value it would give to our business. As three busy directors of a fast growing company, we wondered if our time spent in meetings of this nature could be better spent elsewhere. From our first contact with Carole throughout this whole process, this has not been the case. She has helped us to focus our strategy / communication planning and assisted us in defining our long term goals. We have learnt small but crucial and obvious skills in our approach and feel that we are operating far better both as ‘bosses’ and as part of our close knit team. Carole is organised, patient and approachable and we would thoroughly recommend her services to any businesses in a similar position to ours.”
