Allotment group revamps its clubhouse with reused furniture

Our team here at Warp It are really pleased to welcome back Elaine Gray, Purchasing Lead at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, back for another interview.

Cast your mind to this time last year. Do you remember when we shared a very interesting and inspirational story about an NHS organisation that saved £18,000 by refurbishing 300 bins instead of buying new ones? That was thanks to Elaine Gray and her team.

 

Well they are now approaching another milestone- £1 million in cost avoidance from their reuse activities!!
