How to contact our team nationally and around the country
ENWORKS is a unique business support programme co-ordinating environmental advice, training and support to businesses throughout the Northwest of England. ENWORKS is a partnership between a range of organisations and is managed by Groundwork. It was established in 2001 to ensure that high quality environmental business support is available to all businesses throughout the region and is delivered in a co-ordinated way, avoiding duplication and learning from success. The central team co-ordinates local organisations – including Groundwork Trusts – to provide an effective support system to businesses and organisations in both the public and private sectors. Building on a strong track record of business support, ENWORKS has made its mark as the leading authority on business and environment issues in the region.
“ENWORKS is a regional success story that has demonstrated how the environmental performance of businesses can contribute to the region’s economy. During the last five years, ENWORKS has succeeded in positioning the Northwest at the vanguard of environmental business excellence and it is only natural that the programme is now a model for the rest of Europe to follow”.Steven Broomhead, Chief Executive, Northwest Regional Development Agency.
