Green Deal Workshop for Lewisham SMEs

Lewisham Town Hall, Thursday 28th March

Lewisham Council is hosting a free briefing session to help businesses like yours find out more about the Green Deal.

The Green Deal is the Coalition Government's initiative to improve the energy efficiency of homes and businesses, based on a new financing mechanism that uses energy savings to cover the up-front cost of works to properties. The Green Deal is intended to change the way energy efficiency improvements are funded and provide a much needed boost for the sector. The supply chain is establishing itself now and there are a wide range of businesses that see the Green Deal as a big opportunity. More information about the Green Deal is available on the Green Deal pages of DECC's website

This briefing is being run so you can:

• Understand what the Green Deal means for your business
• Hear how other companies are seizing Green Deal opportunities
• Discuss the Green Deal and related issues with other local companies like yours

This event is free to attend. The Council is keen to involve all local companies that could get involved, particularly those in building, construction and related trades and businesses. Whether or not you know what it is now the Green Deal could be a great opportunity and this is your chance to find out more.
