OUR GREEN TEAM

We have a team of dedicated volunteer members of staff from across the Abbey Group and our office locations, who have committed to identifying and implementing specific solutions to help the Abbey Group operate in a more environmentally sustainable fashion. Our 'Green Team' continuously strive towards improvements on work practices that would best benefit our country, leaving as little carbon footprint as possible.
