Property and construction consultancy Wakemans has celebrated
Christmas and the New Year with an unusual gift to clients that
will preserve local woodland and benefit the environment.
Wakemans has dedicated a quarter of an acre of woodland in
Wassell Wood, Trimpley on behalf of all its clients instead of
sending a more traditional Christmas gift.
Wakemans Managing Director John Woodhall said: "The environment
is a key issue for the construction and property industry. Whilst
we have worked on a number of projects in recent years to deliver
buildings that are environmentally friendly, incorporating
sustainable materials and low energy installations, we wanted to
have a more direct impact and thought that this was an ideal way of
joining with our clients to help with the environment.
"Equally we are well aware of our environmental responsibilities
and Wakemans as a business is evolving to incorporate wherever
possible environmental measures within its projects.
"As a small gesture towards a greener future and to celebrate
Christmas 2009 and the New Year we have made this donation to the
Woodland Trust and dedicated a quarter acre of woodland. We hope to
increase our contribution to the woodland and its positive impact
over the coming years."
