A BUSINESS green group from Poland has been picking up tips in East Lancashire. Four visitors from Eastern Europe spent the week in East Lancashire, visiting Groundwork's Business Environment Association network in the area. The group is in the process of setting up their own version in Poland.

"Groundwork has helped small and medium-sized businesses address environmental issues in a practical way," said Rafal Serafin, one of the visitors.

"Meeting their clients, it is clear that the BEA has helped companies become more aware of their responsibilities and helped them achieve savings."
