BeeKeeping Classes Created a Buzz Around Hillington Park

Nature lovers in Hillington Park can get a buzz at lunchtime – by attending beekeeping classes.

Warren Bader of Plan Bee who will be hosting the lessons said: “It is fantastic that a company like MEPC are so forward thinking in its approach. MEPC understand that it has to put in place safe guards now for balanced environment and ecology in the workplace. Few companies have seized the opportunities to promote sustainable industry like MEPC.”

The classes which are held in the Hillington Park Urban Gardens, have already attracted a lot of attention, with workers in the Park interested in learning more about bees and how to produce honey.

The lessons are another reminder of Hillington Park’s biodiversity commitments and its dedication to achieving its sustainability aims.

In 2011 the Park won a ‘Biodiversity Benchmark’ from the Wildlife Trusts, becoming the first business park in Britain to be recognised for the quality of its environmental management, and since then has continued its biodiversity project.

The beekeeping classes come as MEPC, the majority site owner and developer of Hillington Park, are in the process of adding to the Park’s amenity offering. The Park, west of Scotland’s largest business park, already boasts two train stations, a nursery, a post office and a variety of food outlets including a Harvester pub and restaurant.

Plan Bee, a company that champions biodiversity with businesses and local communities will host the classes, with beekeeper Warren Bader sharing his expert knowledge and passing on his tips.

The bee hives are based in an area which is also home to 12 allotments for Hillington Park companies. Already seven of the plots have been adopted by businesses with employees spending time tending the crops and planting and growing fruit and vegetables. The bee hives will help pollinate the garden and will eventually lead to home grown ’MEPC Honey'.

“We are very proud of our green credentials and in particular winning the award from the Wildlife Trusts, but we are aware that there is always more to be done,” says Grant Edmondson, Managing Director of MEPC Hillington Park. “Along with the allotments and beekeeping classes, we have also installed bird boxes and have biodiversity areas to allow plant life to flourish. The amount of interest we have seen so far has been excellent as many people understand the importance of enhancing the local environment. These projects also add to the big community at Hillington Park and increases people’s sense of belonging.”

The beekeeping classes are held fortnightly on Tuesday’s at 12.30. To register your interest please contact Alison Clark on awclark@mepc.com

Annual Shoebox Appeal Launched

The annual Blythswood Care Shoebox Appeal has been launched and companies based at Hillington Park are being asked to take part.

The charity encourages people to fill a shoebox with simple gifts that will then be sent to some of the world’s poorest countries, giving thousands of children a Christmas to remember.

The boxes are given to all age groups and are delivered to a number of countries including Albania, Romania and Pakistan.

Every year the charity, located at Hillington Park on 35-37 Montrose Road, is delighted with the generosity of its neighbours and hopes to make 2012 another successful year.

Alan Swanson of Blythswood Care said: “Every year we send over 100,000 shoeboxes across the world and we are grateful to everyone who has contributed to our appeal over the years. Even the most simplest of gifts can bring a smile to someone’s face and give them joy this Christmas. We always receive a wonderful response from people within Hillington Park including everyone at BAA Business Support Centre, and hopefully we can see the same again as Christmas approaches.”

“We’ve supported Blythswood Care Shoebox Appeal for a number of years,” says Grant Edmondson, Managing Director, Hillington Park. “We know that others on the Park ensure have a shoebox filled every year for this worthwhile cause and we hope that this year is another successful one for the charity.”

Blythswood Care also welcomes volunteers to come along and help at the sorting station throughout November. This can be on an individual basis or as a group.
