Thursday 4th December 2025: To round off the itinerary of events for 2025, we thank GOLD Charter member Neutral Territory of Claydon for hosting the December gathering which was an informal get together for a drink and a mince pie and a chance to meet some of the Charter Panel members who review the levels of accreditation each Month.
Although this was the second time at this venue, this was the first time that a quiz was involved and there was much hilarity as attendees set of in search of the QR codes around the business park which, upon scanning, revealed questions and answers for the participants to compete for prizes.
After the quiz everyone could warm up inside with more snacks and there was a review of the year and encouragement to look at how the Car Clubs which are springing up across Suffolk can maybe help businesses with more flexible transport options. Interesting conversations took place and everyone agreed what a useful and informal networking event this was.
It was fascinating to see what can be achieved by a forward-thinking business park and every aspect of why Neutral Territory are such an exemplar in this area was on full display. There was also updates about the work Neutral Territory are doing on the ‘gamification’ of decarbonisation which has been enabled by a grant from the Net Zero Innovation Fund Suffolk and the latest can be seen on the case study page.
(special thanks for Charter member St Peter’s Brewery for donating the quiz prizes – I wonder if you can guess what the prizes were?)
