Leading supplier of sustainable design, re-location and furnishing solutions, JPA Workspaces has recently completed a refurbishment in conjunction with BRE in Garston which kept sustainable principles at its core.
JPA's Head of Sustainability, Fiona Edwards, said: "The vision was to demonstrate a responsible approach to procurement by working as many of the existing furniture items back into the project as possible. It also had to look great and work for the users"
JPA Workspaces are delighted to be sponsoring the first ever Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce Sustainability Conference alongside Sky Studios Elstree and Willmott Dixon Construction.
Bringing together businesses from across the county, the event will provide guidance on how we can take a more practical approach to sustainability to achieve targets and deliver significant impact locally as well as nationally.
The event will take place at Rothamsted Enterprises, Harpenden on Friday 21st October 2022.
JPA featured in this month's Inspire 51 Magazine for their work at putting together a Herts Net Zero Focus Group, which involves fourteen Hertfordshire businesses coming together on a monthly basis to discuss ideas for achieving Net Zero in the workplace.
"People want to do more, but they don't know where to start and quotes for work can be really variable," says Fiona (JPA's Head of Sustainability). "We thought getting together a group of businesses who are already making the transition in Hertfordshire would be helpful and the response has been fantastic".
JPA were also mentioned in the magazine for their recent Inspiring Herts Award win, as well as a recent sustainable refurbishment project carried out for BRE.

She added: “The awards ceremony is always a highlight in the Chamber’s calendar and this year was no different. It was wonderful to celebrate the achievements and contribution of the county’s businesses and charitable organisations.
“The awards are also a fantastic opportunity for Hertfordshire businesses to showcase their performance and achievements to the Hertfordshire business community and beyond.”
