The Premier Paper Group has raised more than
half a million pounds to support the work of the
Woodland Trust, funding the planting of 87.5
hectares of new native UK woodland.
Premier started working with theWoodland
Trust in 2011 and by the end of 2016 had
raised £519,000 for the charity through sales
of its Woodland Trust Office Paper and Carbon
Capture Programme.
Premier’s Carbon Capture programme
gives customers the opportunity to capture
CO2 emissions from the manufacture and
distribution of the paper they buy and in
doing so help theWoodland Trust to create
new native woodland, which has an enormous
environmental benefit right across the UK.
Using guidelines from The Carbon Trust and
DEFRA, Premier calculates the amount of CO2
generated in the production and distribution of
the paper. Customers can then choose to capture
the equivalent amount of CO2 by planting trees
through the Government accreditedWoodland
Carbon scheme and theWoodland Trust.
Karl Mitchell, director of fundraising at the
Woodland Trust, said: “We are really grateful for
the terrific support of Premier Paper. Funding
the equivalent of 122 football pitches of trees
will bring a big boost to the environment –
oxygen-rich places for people to enjoy and visit
and homes for wildlife. Premier Paper loves
nothing more than joining us tree planting and
clearly shares our love of trees”.
The top British office
distractions
Half of office workers in the UK admit
they are unproductive for up to an hour
every day, resulting in the loss of more
than 21 million working days every month,
according to the Fellowes
Productivity
in the UK
report. Two thirds of those
questioned believe a four-day week would
make them more productive. Only half
think their office has a positive impact
on productivity, with over two thirds
(40%) believing that working from home
or remotely would help them with their
workload.
The study reveals the top British office
distractions to be:
1. Chatting with colleagues (77%)
2. Tea breaks (60%)
3. Browsing the internet (47%)
4. IT problems (42%)
5. Colleagues’ bad habits (30%)
6. Being too hot (37%)
7. Uncomfortable workstations (25%)
8. Uncomfortable chairs (25%)

Derwent Pencil Museum
reopens
After eighteen months of restoration work
following the floods of 2015, art materials
brand Derwent has reopened the Derwent
Pencil Museum in Cumbria. Renowned for
housing the largest coloured pencil in the world,
the museum was damaged by flood water, with
some artefacts from the archives ruined beyond
repair. Fortunately, many were rescued and
new interactive areas have been created to sit
alongside them. There is also a new customised
drawing facility where visitors can take part in
art classes and workshops.
