“You Shop We Drop BID” Workshop

Online via Zoom

This session will be delivered by supply chain specialists, to ask your thoughts on a “You Shop, We Drop” business case. Essentially the idea is to provide shoppers with a 'hands-free shopping experience' so they can combine shopping activity with all the hospitality, cultural and leisure attractions the city has to offer. Great for them -and great for the local economy!  While similar schemes are already up and running for fashion outlet malls and enclosed shopping centres, this will be the first design a business and operating model fit for city-wide adoption in Canterbury. You or someone from your team are welcome to join us for the Customer Value Proposition and Logistical Workshop on Thursday 3rd February from 9-10:30am. We’ll spend 90 minutes working together to crunch through crucial aspects of the scheme, including: Which of your customers do we expect will gain most value from the service? How much will they pay for it? When should customers expect to collect/receive their shopping? Where to locate collection points and the delivery hub? Who will be best placed to spearhead getting the scheme started? What will be the criteria to measure success of the scheme by? To book please email enquiries@canterburybid.co.uk

Vera Holmes Building, CCCU

As the University moves in to its 60th year and begins a period of renewal through the development of a new Strategic Framework, the world faces many different and existential issues than in the 1960s. The threats of climate change, biodiversity loss and the inevitable consequences on populations both near and far need a clear and unequivocal University response. To signal this change, and provide a vehicle through which the University will enable change amongst the communities it serves, we will be launching an Academy for Sustainable Futures. Our keynote speaker for this event is Jane Davidson, Pro Vice-Chancellor Emeritus of University of Trinity St. David, and architect of the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act (2015) in Wales. Her address will be followed by the unveiling of our own Future Generations Pledge that will drive us to deliver a more sustainable future. To find out more click HERE
