Northallerton business marks decade with barn owl sponsorship
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 07:09 · Archive
Northallerton virtual assistant firm Business Owl has sponsored a barn owl nesting box with conservation organisation Make it Wild to mark its 10th anniversary. Founded by Jen Workman in October 2016, the company has grown largely through word-of-mouth referrals and has supported more than 70 companies, many of them local.
Ms Workman said she saw the sponsorship as 'a practical way to create a memorable connection between the company's identity and its environmental credentials, including its status as Carbon Literate'. She previously worked in the legal sector and is a qualified legal executive. The business has won an industry award and became a national finalist.
The nesting box will give barn owls an alternative breeding site as development and changing land use reduce traditional habitats in old barns, buildings and mature trees. Helen Neave, Make it Wild founding director, said: 'These wonderful birds can struggle to find suitable habitat in which to breed and raise their young. We are confident this box will be occupied soon and will help this iconic species to thrive in this part of Yorkshire.'
