A busy and informative day for Holywell Trust's Leadership Collective.
They met with Eamonn Deane, a Trustee with the Foyle River Gardens group, and then had a visit and meeting with David Gilliland, the Managing Partner and sixth generation custodian at Brook Hall Gardens and Estates. Building on the learning from the recent trip to the Eden Project in Cornwall, the meetings informed the Collective on the need to cultivate environmental and sustainable innovative approaches to regional development and protection, and how this can also serve as a economic driver, rather than being seen as a competing priority. Thanks to Eamonn and David for their time and insights!
