Support for local business
We try and support local businesses as a priority with any supply requirements that the business needs.
Mark Kirby (MD) has personally appeared on several Locate in Kent press campaigns (including the successful ‘Hotspot’ poster campaign) to promote the cost benefits of Kent as a business location.
In 2010, GoResponise proudly sponsored the Swale Business of the Year Awards, an award that GoResponse proudly won the previous year.
Environmental
In order to reduce its carbon footprint, we have recently signed up to the Liftshare car sharing scheme, predicting a saving more than five car journeys every working day.
We are also members of Cyclescheme – the leading provider of tax-free bikes for the Government's Cycle to Work initiative – and the company provides both storage and showering facilities for staff using bicycles to travel to and from work. Currently 10% of the workforce have taken advantage of the scheme.
The company handles most written communications by email and uses a paperless email invoicing system and fax-to-email number to further reduce paper usage. We also provide paper recycling bins for all departments.
Support for good causes
We provide support to several local charities. Our nominated Charity of the Year is Kent Air Ambulance, for whom we raised more than £500 last year, through a range of activities, including special dress code days and individual staff sponsorship events.
The company also aims to support national charities that staff are already involved with, and to manage collective fundraising activities for Comic Relief and Breast Cancer Care, Demelza House and the Kent-based Miles of Smiles.
