The team here has been busy supporting the world’s first carbon neutral soccer awards, in partnership with the Dubai Sports Council and Globe Soccer. Adam Hoult, MBA attended the January Globe Soccer Awards, capturing travel data to add to the full emissions footprint, which has now been set as their benchmark to reduce carbon emissions year-on-year.
Adam had a great time seeing behind the scenes at such a prestigious event, but next year will give more thought to his footwear with all the standing!
Back in the UK, no mingling with footballing celebrities, but Alan Stenson MIoD and Krys Stanton , have been planting trees for our Tree in a Million project. There’s been fantastic feedback from these sessions at the Forest of Marston Vale and the team have enjoyed being out in nature with some of our clients.
Thanks go to CBRE Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) , Enara Bio , Ark Pest Control Ltd and Kindred for supporting this worthy initiative.

Q. What’s your claim to fame?
A. After playing golf for 25 years (low single-figure handicapper for most of those), I hadn’t had a hole-in-one, I then had 2 in one month, both with an 8 iron, and also holed 2 pitching wedges in between! Not had another in the following 5 years though ??
Q. If you had the opportunity to know the future, would you want to know?
A. I’d like to know that my two kids, Lucas and Alexa, were happy and healthy in their adult lives.
Q. What’s your go-to karaoke song?
A. ‘Parklife’ by Blur, because there isn’t much singing, and I’m tone deaf!
Q. What’s your favourite childhood memory?
A. Going on holiday with my parents and all the long walks in nature, over all kinds of terrain.
Q. Tea or Coffee?
A. Definitely coffee! I’ve recently discovered bullet-proof coffee, which I have towards the end of my intermittent fasts to fuel-start my day.

9 个月Brands need to continue to focus on reducing the catastrophic amounts of wastage in the events industry and look at running more sustainable events. We are doing our part to help reduce the catastrophic amounts of wastage in the events industry in the UAE. Moving from buying single-use branding to a more sustainable rental and multi-use option. We also differ from the cheaper alternatives where we focus on quality and durability. Like your favorite pair of jeans or T-shirt, our products are built to last. The benefits are economic, environmental, and good for brand's reputation. It not just the smart thing to go it's the right thing to do ???? Would love to get your thoughts and ideas and how we can have more conversations with brands that care in the UAE ??
