Cut Carbon Not Jobs!

You can become more aware of environmental issues in your workplace

Swindon – 10th February 2011

Held at the fabulous STEAM muesum in Swindon.  STEAM – Museum of the Great Western Railway is housed in a beautifully restored Grade II railway building in the heart of the former Swindon railway works.

The Museum tells the story of the men and women who built, operated and travelled on the Great Western Railway – ‘God’s Wonderful Railway’ – a railway network that, through the pioneering vision and genius of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, was regarded as the most advanced in the world.  This is a perfect location for meetings, centrally located and you can have a tour around the museum after your mornings energy awareness course.
