........and do something completely different.
Planet Gold have spent over a year building up a portfolio of local school and community projects, mainly in the Wiltshire area, that require sponsorship and manpower to initiate. Our aim is to find local companies willing to take on one of these projects.
This is a great opportunity for companies to boost morale by taking their teams out of the office environment and into the outdoors and setting them a challenge that requires good planning, strong communication, hard-work and companionship to complete. The end result will have allowed a team to start a project of invaluable environmental and community benefit.
Current local projects include:
1. The creation of conservation and wildlife areas;
2. Creation of allotment areas within schools;
3. Creation of native, British woodlands.
Planet Gold work closely with the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, where necessary, on these projects to ensure that they are well planned and executed with the long-term in mind.
The benefits to a company affect not only morale. The positive publicity attained from becoming involved with, and sponsoring these projects will benefit and lift your company profile and reputation.
If you are interested and would like to know more then please give us a call on 01249 782782 or e-mail us through the website.

| | The launch of new, green and meaningful ‘tree planting’ events | August 2008 |
|
Planet Gold have collaborated with the Tree Appeal (www.treeappeal.co.uk) to offer a new and unique event concept….the opportunity to help create new native British woodland as a team building event. These are truly sustainable events that actively promote biodiversity, create wildlife habitats and improve the environment for people.
We are looking for UK companies that would like to positiviely enhance our countryside by sending teams to plant broad-leaved trees and traditional hedgerows. We have many sites throughout the UK and will liaise with your local wildlife trust to establish suitable sites on your doorstep making it easy for you to return over the forthcoming years to see your woodland grow and establish.
These events simply ooze the feel-good factor and will unite a team within your organisation. There are many PR benefits to a company in running an event of this nature and you automatically become a corporate partner of the Tree Appeal. For the really adventurous we can offer wilderness parties and luxury tented accommodation alongside the tree planting event, perhaps in a brand new woodland grove that the team has just created!!
When the country seems obsessed with the off-setting of carbon, why not take things a step further….get your hands dirty and simply create something of infinite environmental importance. The tree planting season runs from November to March so now is the time to plan your 2008/9 winter event.
Please give us a call on 01249 782782 for further information. |

| | The best comprehensive in England celebrate with Planet Gold | June 2008 |
|
When Sheldon School received a "perfect" inspection report from Ofsted, the government’s school inspection agency, the teaching staff (deservedly so) wanted to celebrate in style so they contacted Planet Gold.
Although this was one of the tightest budgets we have ever had to work to for a 250 people celebration, we appreciated the schools requirement for a celebration and pulled out all the stops to help Sheldon throw a party to remember.
The venue was a local village hall, glamourously decorated with our 'sails' decor. A domed tent was used to increase the venues capacity and flame burners and tree lights helped enhance the overlook look and feel. Fresh, local food was cooked over hot coals throughout the night and the music was provided by the schools very own band.
With many of Planet Gold's team coming through Sheldon School we would like to congratulate the school on their hard working achievements and hope they continue to produce top quality event crew!! |
