The second surprise is the title of the day, “The financial crisis and other opportunities”. We heard how the bank has had a very successful year, with a considerable increase both in deposits and loans. This probably sounds like a fairy tale when financial news all around is so dire, but those of us who have banked with Triodos for some time, including South Wilts Agenda 21 feel like saying “we told you so.” On 15 February, annual business awards were made by the Salisbury and District Chamber of Commerce. A panel of judges from SW Agenda 21 made the Green Business Award which was sponsored by Salisbury District Council. Read the judges’ comments and verdict: It’s time to enter the Salisbury & District Chamber of Commerce and Industry‘s 2008 Business Awards. This includes the Green Business Award sponsored by Salisbury District Council. The award will be judged by a team from South Wiltshire Agenda 21. Application Forms are available from Miss Dunning on 01722 322708. The deadline for applications is Friday 25th January. THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED. THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. |
