Remanufacturing and recommerce
Guests at the London Environmental Investment Forum's dinner seminar Remanufacturing & Recommerce were keen to hear of remanufacturing successes and where the next big thing was going to emerge.
The CRR's parent company, Oakdene Hollins, co-sponsored the event at the headquarters of Norton Rose LLP on the bank of the Thames next to Tower Bridge. Invited guests were from the Venture Capital investment community and showed interest in investing in high-growth remanufacturing businesses. An informal discussion, led by the CRRs Nicholas Morley, highlighted the benefits of remanufacturing and reuse.
As part of this event we co-wrote a report, 'The Leif Brief', discussing remanufacturing investment opportunities (for a copy go to download files). If you are looking for investment and are a rapidly growing organisation, we now have the right contacts to develop your business. Please contact us for more details at info@remanufacturing.org.uk.
