Have you ever wanted to visit an offshore wind farm? Well this is your chance. The 400MW Rampion Wind Farm is located in the English Channel, eight miles off the coast of Sussex. Its 116 turbines will generate enough clean and green electricity to power nearly 350,000 homes, equivalent to half the homes in Sussex.

The wind farm, which is being developed by energy company E.ON, should be complete and operational by 2018. This visit is for those who have an interest in how renewable energy can make a contribution to the green economy.
Due to limited capacity on the boats, tickets are limited to one per business.

Please note that this visit will involve sea travel by boat and is weather dependent. In the case of inclement weather, we will hold an event at the meeting point, with presentations by wind farm developers, E.ON, and other wind energy experts. The cost of the ticket will be refunded by 50 per cent.

Connect with other leaders and evolve - the way that nature intended.

It's tough at the top. With the challenge of a changing and diverse workforce, a never ending conveyor belt of reports and decisions, uncertain outcomes and the pressure to deliver, you can end up feeling isolated and burnt out, wondering how best to lead effectively.

It has been shown that being in nature dramatically increases creative thinking, improves long-term decision making, and enhances interpersonal connections.

Join us in for our Creative Campfire in Stanmer Forest at the end of September. You will get quality time with a community of like-minded leaders, outdoors, around a fire, and we'll facilitate meaningful conversations and time for reflection, that'll inspire you to new action. 

Get away from the office and come sit around a fire in a wild place, for facilitated conversation, head space, and support from other leaders, the only people who really understand what you’re going through.

It will help you be a better leader, build a powerful peer network to support you and give you some positive creative energy for transformational change.
