It`s World Bee Day - and we`re buzzing to celebrate the important role these pollinators play in biodiversity and sustainability.
At Birmingham Business Park, regular `Meet the Bees` workshops at the beehives, helps the tenant community learn about the vital role bees play in our ecosystem. And yes, they even produce their own honey, harvested right from the park!
Meanwhile, you can find the Bee hotel at #Moretown on the rooftop of Building 6 – providing safe nesting spaces, helping local pollinators thrive, which in turn supports our environment.

A new vision for Buxton.
Amy, Senior Account Manager and Leonie, Account Manager attended the first public consultation event hosted by social impact developer @capitalcentric to view their plans for revitalising Buxton.
This was an opportunity for occupiers of The Springs Shopping Centre and local residents to come along and see the proposed new plans, with time given for them to voice their own views. The event featured the proposed plans, a survey to give feedback and interactive elements to vote on key fundamentals of the plan.
A new vision for the town centre includes:
⭐ A vibrant residential-led, mixed use neighbourhood
⭐ Revitalised new shops, bars and cafes
⭐ Green areas and public spaces
It was great to meet with Capital & Centric, local residents and key stakeholders to learn more about the exciting plans for Buxton town centre.
