A green networking event described as a collective of the Eco-conscious is back for a second chapter but in a new venue.

ECOllective offers a space for ethical businesses, charities and NGOs to connect, share best practice, collaborate and communicate.

Founded by ethical PR specialist Warrior Agency, ECOllective’s second meeting is on Thursday April 27, 3-5pm, at Upton House at Upton Country Park.

Three guest speakers will be sharing their knowledge and expertise.

They’re expected to ignite thought-provoking conversations for green businesses and groups.

The first speaker is Nikki Barry, Sustainability Manager at Organix, one of Bournemouth’s biggest sustainable brand success stories.

Nikki, pictured left, will be discussing sustainability practices and how Organix achieved B-Corp status.  

Following Nikki is Astrid Davies, pictured right, an inspirational speaker who works with sustainable leaders and their teams to increase focus, clarity and drive for sustainable success.

The final speakers are Matt Cosier and Nick Cooper, Co-Founders of Gaia Card, the membership platform and discount card working with sustainable and ethical brands.

They will share the impressive story of Gaia and how they can help businesses lessen their environmental impacts.  

Following the speakers, there will be time and space for a Q&A as well as informal networking with a cake and a glass of bubbles.

Lizzie McManus, Founder of Warrior Agency, said: “After all the positive feedback from our first ECOllective event in January, we’re super excited to announce the second chapter at Upton House.

“We really want ECOllective to be as inclusive as possible so we’re moving it around the area so it’s not just in Bournemouth.

“Tickets are only £10 and we’ve introduced 50 per cent off for charities too so, hopefully, it’s affordable and accessible to all types of organisations across the conurbation and beyond.

“Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at Warrior.

“It’s been really encouraging to see so many businesses and groups from our community coming together and uniting in their passions for the welfare of our planet.

“We’ve got some more amazing guest speakers coming to join us at a beautiful new venue, you really won’t want to miss it!”
