What did a representative of Pearce Compaction Systems think of our expo?

"The Southern Sustainability Partnership offers my business a well-rounded calendar of events. We exhibit at the Expo each year to raise awareness for our solutions, which has proved extremely successful. As MD, I have taken time to work on the business by attending the conference."

"This has helped me understand the way we run our own organisation fits perfectly into a Circular Economy model as we design our own waste compaction systems, build them on-site and offer maintenance and equipment return system. We were delighted to be honoured with the Waste and Recycling Solution Award last year."

Meet our host of The Big Sustainability Awards 2024!

Prepare to be astounded and amused as Stephen Simmons leaves you wondering, “How did he do that?”

He is a celebrated member of The Magic Circle and a favourite among major companies like Adidas, Apple, and Google.

His performances, marked by polished sleight-of-hand and mental manipulation, have earned him comparisons to “Derren Brown with a sense of humour.”

We look forward to it!

14/05/2024

Why did our organisation start?

We recognised that companies struggled with knowing what to do and having the means to do it in the realm of sustainability.

Our journey has been one of passion, dedication, and continuous learning, as we strive to make a difference in both the public and private sectors.

Join us at our flagship events, the Big Sustainability Expo and Awards, where companies collaborate on creating a sustainable future.
