Sustainability and Horizon Leeds
When we say that we are passionate about sustainability and the legacy we create, we mean it.
Fed up with the lack of digital-led venues in Leeds, NHS Confederation realised that the only way to achieve what they needed, was to pay through the nose to bring all the tech into hotel rooms, or do it themselves. So, when the third floor of Brewery Wharf, Leeds, became available, the chance to create something which could support NHS Confederation members, and the wider healthcare industry, became a reality. With many ideas on the drawing board, sustainability was already at the heart of the development process for the venue.
NHS Confederation is the membership organisation that brings together, supports, and speaks for the whole healthcare system in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Opening our event venue and facilities to all businesses, whilst ensuring rates remained low for healthcare providers, is a win win. Businesses can hold events at Horizon Leeds knowing it contributes to their own sustainability and corporate social responsibility goals. Plus, every pound they spend contributes to supporting the NHS Confederation.

A Virtual No-brainer

Sustaining Great Relationships – Ringtons
A great brew, whether that’s black tea, fruit tea or coffee, is a great accompaniment to an event. It’s important for us to offer a rich, quality taste, but not at the expense of the planet. Ringtons help us do just that.
Sustainable Event Catering
