Commercial Director Liz Watson added “Following Hilton’s recent statement to cut our environmental footprint in half by 2030, we thought what better way to start than planting 100 trees. It’s a vital way to help remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the air, which cools the earth. What a meaningful way to celebrate 100 years”.
