Kent Enterprise House gets Technical
Kent Enterprise Trust was delighted to host a CMS (Content Management System) Training Session with Jonathan Gwyer of HDG Networks who have just designed and launched our exciting new conference website this Spring. http://www.kentconferencecentre.com/
As well as offering a free in-house training session to all relevant Kent Enterprise Trust employees on how to manage the website content themselves, a huge saving in external IT maintenance costs, this was also an excellent opportunity for KET’s “Future Job Fund” employees. The course enabled them to learn about web design and gave them some very practical and invaluable training in a vital business resource. This mutually beneficial exchange of services between two local companies is another great example of how social enterprise is not just business with a social conscience, but also an excellent way of exchanging knowledge and skills, networking and ultimately expanding our profile locally and beyond.

Appleseed Landscaping - what we do
Appleseed Landscapes takes on trainees from back-to-work schemes and ex-offender organizations. These trainees work together with our professional gardeners aiming towards a level 1 Diploma qualification in horticulture at Hadlow College.
Appleseed Landscapes also works with children in local special schools involving them in the planning and designing of projects such as wildlife, sensory and food gardens.
The team also works at residential homes to provide a beautiful and productive environment for residents. We can include residents in the upkeep of gardens providing them with meaningful activity.
Appleseed Landscapes reduces the impact on the environment through a number of means including turning waste products into mulch whenever possible and the construction of compost bins, reusing old timber to do so.
