Zeal Projects’ Post

Last Friday we hosted a group of MBA climate leadership students visiting the UK from South Africa. The trip which was organised by the University of Exeter aimed to explore innovative practices and solutions that align economic growth with environmental stewardship. By engaging with industry leaders and visiting cutting-edge projects, the students gained valuable insights into sustainable business models. The group spent a day at Exeter Science Park where they met with chief executive Dr Sally Basker, who discussed the Science Park’s net zero ambitions. They also heard from Tim Wheeldon, managing director of Zeal Hotels | Mindfully Modern, about the net zero voco Zeal Exeter Science Park hotel being built at the site. Their visit included a tour of the hotel, which is due to be completed in December. The group, who were visiting from the GIBS Business School (Gordon Institute of Business Science) at the University of Pretoria , also heard talks from Naomi Harnett, East Devon District Council; Roli Martin BSc Hons FCA, Global City Futures; and Exeter Science Park based companies Quanterra Systems and Oxi-Tech Solutions Limited.
