BE INNOVATIVE
It is more important than ever to stand out from the crowd so why not think innovatively take some inspiration from socket ball that generates electricity while you play football. Dubbed the SOccket, the ball captures the energy from impact that is usually lost to the environment. The generated electricity is then stored in the ball, which after dark can be used to light an LED lamp or charge a cell phone. Read more here... |

ECO FRIENDLY MERCHANDISE
A company can have the best environmental track record in the world, but without consistency, an otherwise sterling image can be seriously tarnished in the public eye. Take promotional goods - a category often dominated by cheap, throw away and plastic products. Eco-minded options have traditionally been few and far between, but now Canadian Fairware focuses on providing a wide range of sustainable alternatives. All products offered by Fairware reflect a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Click here |

A MATCH MADE IN SHEFFIELD
Who’d have thought you could get so much done sitting on a sofa! Of course the Sugarcane Creative sofa is rather special – It’s where we sit and listen to what you want your business to achieve. We’ve recently worked together with The Quadrant to market them as Sheffield’s top serviced offices and they are now starting the year with 100% occupancy and taking names on a waiting list. The Quadrant also use the Sugarcane newsletter manager software to send out monthly e-newsletters which means they get to concentrate on what they want to say instead of worrying about the production details. |
