Here are details of the new committee who were elected yesterday at our virtual AGM. This will be sent out as a release to the horticulture trade press.
Following plants@work's virtual AGM yesterday, we are pleased to announce the election of a new committee to lead the association out of lockdown.
AGM Zoom meeting June 2020
Madeleine Evans of Tivoli Services accepted the role of Chair for a third year, who commented, "I am pleased to accept the role of Chair again and am eager to support members in whatever new directions Covid-19’s aftermath takes us. We have an exciting year ahead looking at new ways of working together with clients and celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the association.
“We really want to promote the benefits of plants to businesses. We will get off to a good start with a virtual National Plants at Work Week in July.”
To support Madeleine, Kenneth Freeman currently Ambius's head of innovation takes on the role of Deputy Chair. David Snell owner of Nature at Work Ltd will become New Membership Secretary and Ruscha Mars owner of The Good Plant Company retains her role as social secretary jointly with Craig Edser, General Manager at Indoor Garden Design. They will be supported by one of our Ambassadors, Ian Drummond, Creative Director at Indoor Garden Design.
The year ahead
This team will take us through the next year to June 2021 probably facing many changes in the industry but helping to address any issues with positivity. They will also be instrumental in preparing our celebrations of 20 years of the association’s existence next year.
Plants@work starts its new year with a busy virtual programme commencing with naming the Favourite Office Plant 2020 followed by National Plants at Work Week from 13 July when the promotion of plants in the workplace wherever it is and their benefits will be emphasised.
We will keep you informed of other events, virtual or physical, throughout the coming year.
