“Environmental sustainability is a core business objective for Wembley and we are delighted to have achieved the Industry Green mark in recognition of our efforts. As with all organisations we have more to achieve, but we are proud to be making real, quantifiable progress.”

“Julie’s Bicycle has without doubt transformed the way we think at DMS and has contributed to a large increase in sales and thus profits due to clients wanting true green packaging.”
~ Disc Manufacturing Services Ltd.
