An award-winning business which provides technology lifecycle services are headline sponsoring the annual Midlands Climate Expo for the second year running.
TMT First, based in Newcastle-under-Lyme, are sponsoring The Globe Group’s flagship event, which this year is taking place at Keele Hall.
TMT repair, refurbish and recycle technology in partnership with clients to build a better and more sustainable future for technology. Over the course of a year – they repair and process more than 200,000 devices.
Taking place at Keele Hall on September 22nd, the event will bring professionals together from the private and public sectors to learn and discuss how they can work together to further their own climate action.
Last year’s Expo, which saw a keynote speech from TV presenter Kate Humble, was attended by more than 400 delegates with 100 businesses involved. This year’s event will see exhibitors, speakers, workshops as well as climate roundtables to discuss key issues and solutions.
Adam Whitehouse, Founder and Chair of TMT First and the event sponsor, said: “Sustainability is at the very core of what we do. Keeping technology alive for longer is our biggest focus so we were delighted to sponsor this year’s Midlands Climate Expo at Keele Hall.
“The only way to help tackle the climate crisis, we are all facing, is for everyone to pull together. Businesses have a key part to play in this, which is why the Expo is so important.
“It brings together organisations to learn from each other and discuss how we can collaborate to become more sustainable and reduce the carbon footprint across the local economy and beyond.”
The Globe Group Director, Kate Copeland said: “We believe partnerships will be the best way to solve Climate Change. We also see some of the most impactful solutions coming from non-traditional collaborations with different sectors come together to solve a common problem.
This event provides the perfect incubator for those conversations to take place as we have such broad attendance, from private, public and third sector organisations.”
