Innovative portable greenhouse is launched

The GreenSafe portable greenhouse has now been launched nationwide. Hopefully, you will be reading more about this impressive product over the coming weeks. We've also been talking to a major TV show about getting it on but they are off for the summer now. They are still keen to get the GreenSafe down when they are back on air though.

A portable greenhouse which is set to revolutionise gardening has been launched.
The GreenSafe can be erected for just part of a year and is easily moved to suit a gardener's requirements.
Daniel Newbould, a director of GreenSafe International which distributes the greenhouse, said: "This is a fantastic product and we are bringing it to the UK and Ireland for the first time.
“There are already more than 10,000 happy customers across Europe and we believe that thousands more here will join them.”
With a recent study revealing that 72 per cent of greenhouse owners admitting to not using their greenhouse for more than six months of every year, Daniel believes there is a vast untapped market.
He said: “So many people have a greenhouse they rarely use that it’s a waste of valuable space!"

Public relations for social enterprises

Here at Urban Media PR we have toyed with creating a public relations service aimed squarely at Social Enterprise - because these organisations are something we strongly believe in.

We are proud to be associated with one of the country's leading social enterprises in the shape of CASAC. They do fantastic work in combating crime in West Yorkshire. Indeed, they should be held up as a prime example of the good that Social Enterprises can do.

The story below is from Social Enterprise magazine and it resonates with me. I think the figure for such businesses is far higher than most people assume.

Study increases number of UK social enterprises to 232,000 from 62,000.

The UK could be home to 232,000 social enterprises and not the official figure of 62,000, new research shows.

A study by economics consultancy Delta Economics and market researchers IFF Research revealed that a fifth of 2,121 entrepreneurs interviewed run businesses that could be ‘hidden social enterprises'. These are classed as for-profit companies with a social, environmental or job creation purposes and reinvest their profits or surpluses to achieve this goal. Those asked have been running their business for more than two years, but fewer than ten have annual turnovers greater than £200,000.

In essence, as Geof Cox comments on the site: 'you don't need to be structurally different from other businesses to be entirely ethical: to say MORE effectively 'this is the way EVERYONE should do business'.
