The Suppliers’ Fair aims to link businesses face to face with the suppliers and their products to create greener networks in the Park. A range of environmental suppliers will be attending and many local businesses have been prioritised.
The free event will be held in the Main Hall with doors opening from 11am until 2pm.
The range of products that will be displayed on the day include:
*Water

*Paints and wood preserving products
*Insulation and external building materials
*Organic mattresses and cot bedding
*Renewal Energy suppliers
*Recycling bins and containers

Green Dragon is the Welsh environmental accreditation scheme awarded to businesses who are improving their environmental impact. The simple scheme aims to help businesses reap rewards by saving you money, gaining new custom and reducing their carbon footprint.
