PR people turn Womble to tackle local litter
Marketing: BWP Group go to war on rubbish surrounding Globe Park
BWP Group have spent their lunchtimes picking up litter in Globe Business Park.
Staff from the BWP Group have been dedicating their lunchtimes to cleaning up Marlow’s Globe Business Park.
The marketing and PR agency formed a culture group as part of its aim to be more involved with community initiatives in 2020.
One of its first steps was teaming up with litter picking volunteers, The Marlow Wombles, to clear the business park where it is based of chewing gum, cigarette butts and plastic rubbish.
BWP’s business director Jacey Bunker, head of the company’s new culture committee, said: “I was shocked by how much litter there was, once you start looking you can’t stop.
“The biggest surprise was the amount of chewing gum and cigarette butts on the pavements.
“BWP is keen to do this monthly if we can, around Globe Business Park and then discuss other opportunities where we can help Marlow Wombles.
“Many hands make light work.”
Head womble Emma Hawkins added: “BWP did a great job in and around the business park and it was great to see a local agency care about the area they work in.
“Getting involved in this kind of initiative helps to generate a really strong sense of community spirit.
“I wish more local businesses had the initiative and time to help, as there is a real litter problem around Globe Business Park and it really does make a difference.”
The two groups are also considering teaming up on a gardening project.
