Nurture Group Clients Bluewater and HR Wallingford Triumph at Bees’ Needs Awards

Date: 15th September 2023

In a resounding victory for environmental stewardship, Bluewater and HR Wallingford have proudly secured the prestigious Bees’ Needs Award for 2023, standing tall among the 25 remarkable champions recognised this year.

The Bees’ Needs Champions Awards, an annual celebration of exemplary initiatives, acknowledges the outstanding efforts of local authorities, community groups, farmers, and businesses that go above and beyond to create pollinator-friendly environments. The criterion for the award includes a commitment to supporting pollinators, innovation, promotion of Bees’ Needs awareness, and evidence of a positive impact on pollinators.

Bluewater and HR Wallingford have clinched an award for their efforts to support bees and their dedication in fostering biodiversity. The judges were particularly impressed with the determination of the Bluewater team for the number of wildflower areas across their site.

As we applaud the achievements of Bluewater and HR Wallingford, it prompts us to reflect on the broader importance of supporting biodiversity initiatives for businesses. Beyond the accolades, such initiatives bring tangible benefits, fostering a healthier ecosystem, enhancing corporate responsibility, and creating a positive public image.
