On the 23rd March the Castle Green Hotel, Kendal, will play host to the prestigious 10th annual Cumbria Business Environment Network (CBEN) awards. CBEN is a project delivered by Cumbria Rural Enterprise Agency (CREA).

 Over 200 gold, silver and bronze awards will be presented to businesses from a range of sectors for their ongoing commitment to the environment. Under the scheme, CBEN Auditors work with these businesses to find ways to increase their resource efficiency and other ways in which to lessen their environmental impact. The different categories of Award reflect the input required at each level.

In addition, 3 environmental Excellence Awards and one Outstanding Individual Award will be presented to those businesses that have, of their own accord, gone above and beyond the requirements for the award they were working towards achieving.

 I will be releasing a press release on Wednesday which I will send to you, along with a full list of award-winners and a photograph. I hope you find this interesting and that you choose to cover it on your site.
