Yorkshire Water has held a number of events at Greenspace over the last few months.
Simon Barnes, Manager of Innovation and Delivery at Yorkshire Water, said: “I enjoyed using Greenspace as it gave a different feel in terms of the space available, but more importantly the building's overall carbon reduction and the novel processes being used on so many fronts from the heat exchanger to the real time monitoring of consumption really impressed us.”
Arla Foods ran a team away day at Greenspace, bringing together one of their brand teams to brainstorm around new packaging and marketing approaches. Here are a few comments from their team:
“Nice eco-orientated place to do creative workshops”
“Loved the food and friendly service - 10 out of 10!”
“Really nice, bright space and very cool and funky”
Jon Kendall from Castleton Consulting said: “Greenspace is extremely impressive. What makes it special is the good blend of innovation and practicality…It is really worth spending time there”.
Adam Woodhall from PeopleProfitPlanet thinks that "Greenspace is an excellent and innovative space to hold events in. The Greenhouse development has a real buzz about it, and that clearly transmitted itself through to Greenspace, which really benefited our event. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating, and the experience was so good we came back for a second event shortly after. Thanks to everybody at Greenspace for making our event such a success".
"We chose Greenspace as the venue to host one of our Smart City debates and it was the perfect venue. The space was flexible both for group presentations and breakout areas for debate. It's light and spacious and worked really well as an environment where we wanted to get people networking and sharing ideas. Many of our delegates also attended a tour of the development, which took us behind the scenes of Greenhouse and what makes it a UK first - this was fascinating and a great draw as an extra reason to attend our event. We look forward to returning in the near future" says Paul Connell, Director of Woodholmes Group
