The Big Sleep Out and what it says about Gloucestershire

After businesspeople slept rough at Brickhampton Court Golf Complex for charity last week we thought we'd ask why, and does it really matter? It turns out it does. It matters a lot.

Dear reader,

I hope you had a great weekend.

I had planned to open today with a report on last week’s The Property Forum, Gloucestershire, staged at the Tivoli Cinema in Cheltenham.

It proved an enlightening event on many fronts - for those who want to know where to invest in Gloucestershire property and why, to some real nuggets of news about some hot property deals taking place right under our noses.

But we now plan to run that report later this week. Mainly because we got distracted when we decided to take a look at the work of the CCP in Cheltenham, and why on earth so many people were prepared to spend a night sleeping rough to support it.

And we also paused on the property forum story because today is the last day of March.

Since when was that news, I hear you ask? It’s news because it means that B Corp month has now come to an end, which has allowed us to pick up on a report that B Corp businesses have now contributed tens of millions of pounds to the county economy.

And that gave us…
