East Devon Business Support - Success Stories

"Sidmouth Rugby Club is thrilled to announce the successful acquisition of £30,000 in Carbon Action Funding, which will go toward installing PV and battery storage at our clubhouse.  

This exciting milestone wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support and expertise of Adela Mei from Business Info Point (BIP) and Andrew Moss Robinson from Carbon Sense.  

Their dedication, knowledge, and guidance were instrumental in helping us secure this vital funding. We're immensely grateful for their amazing contributions and look forward to moving towards a more sustainable future for our club. ”

Matthew, Sidmouth RFC

"I had the pleasure of working with Adela on our Lyme Bay Ladies Sustainability Policy. When I was introduced to the topic of sustainable business, I assumed it was only relevant to certain types of business and didn’t realise how much we were doing came under the umbrella of sustainability. This process has given me confidence and clarity. It has empowered me to find ways to share the ideals with our members. I am very passionate about the environment and will proudly display my policy on our new website. Thank you, Adela, for shining the light!"

Lisa, Lime Bay Ladies
