Tony Gaddas from Central Networks said:
“As the distribution company serving 4.9 million customers across central England we are aware of the impact we have on our local environment. As part of our commitment to take our responsibilities seriously we are delighted to be able to play our part in creating a better natural environment. The Central Networks team at our headquarters in Castle Donington have all worked hard to raise money to plant new trees and help reduce our own carbon footprint.”

Central Networks enjoyed their first planting event so much that they decided to raise further funds to plant more trees in the Forest.

Graeme Thompson, Finance Director for Central Networks, said:
“As a business, we’re already working hard to lower our impact on the environment, but we’re also looking at what we can do more personally to make a contribution. We decided as a team not to send Christmas cards out last year, and to use the money saved to buy and plant these trees. It’s shown that small gestures can make a real difference and I hope encourages others.”
