Our Pioneers

Please meet our Green Street Bradford Pioneers.

This exciting live action research pilot is working with 20+ independent retail and hospitality businesses in the heart of Bradford  and Newcastle to help them become greener and build a sustainable shopping community.

These businesses are all committed to making their business more sustainable and offering a more planet-friendly experience for their customers.
