Island boss steps back from UK environmental project

Monday, 11 March 2024 at 08:35

The chief executive of an Island communications company has resigned as a trustee of a £50 million environmental project in Lancashire.

Adam Beaumont, boss of Bluewave Communications, stepped down from the Eden Project in Morecambe after seven years in the role.

He criticised the project, saying he'd been given no power over it despite promises he'd be leading it.

The Morecambe site is due to open in 2027 and is one of eight international centres being developed on the model of the first Eden Project in Cornwall.
