Delegates 'Dined by Candlelight'...

Delegates 'Dined by Candlelight' in the Cotswolds last week when Cotswold Conference Centre supported the region's Switch It Off Campaign.

Participation in the campaign was part of CCC's on-going dedication to greener business. Nick Akerman, Sales Manager, explained "it was a great opportunity to encourage our guests to consider the environment. Hopefully the concept of Dining by Candlelight to reduce energy costs is something they took away with them. The campaign also provided a good reminder to our own team of what a difference switching off can make.”

CCC is getting switched on to switching off during Switch It Off Week 2009
