Over 50 people representing dozens of businesses from all over South London gathered on Friday at the Green Business Expo sponsored by Chamber member SOS Office Solutions, Wandsworth's leading supplier of environmentally-friendly office products, in conjunction with the Wandsworth Chamber of Commerce.

The event had trade stands, seminars, a "speed networking" session - a kind of speed dating for businesses, and a selection of green raffle prizes donated by local companies.

Held at the Riverside Business Park and graced by Wandsworth's Mayor, Cllr Jane Cooper, it demonstrated that even in a difficult business environment, becoming a greener company makes financial sense.

Trish Smith, Managing Director of SOS Office Solutions, says, "Being green does not need to be the more expensive option - our environmentally friendly products cost no more than conventional products and can often save you money.  Show me an invoice and I will prove our products will improve your bottom line.  As well as helping to save the planet!"

The event was sponsored by SOS Office Solutions, and supported by Wandsworth Council and Wandsworth Chamber of Commerce. Steve Pinto, Deputy Chairman, Wandsworth Chamber says, "Wandsworth Chamber were delighted to support Trish Smith and SOS Office Solutions in helping to make this Green Business Expo  a success. Trish has been a Chamber member for many years and regularly supports our events, so when she asked for some support in promoting her event, it was really very easy to say, yes."
