The segment took viewers behind the scenes of the project, as BBC South East and The Stage visited the theatre to capture the scale and importance of the ongoing works. Interviews were conducted with Theatre Director Tal Rosen and Leader of Dartford Borough Council Jeremy Kite, who shared insight into the vision for the theatre, the progress being made, and the impact the restoration will have on the local community.

As a much-loved venue at the heart of Dartford’s cultural life, The Orchard Theatre holds a special place for generations of audiences. Being part of this important restoration project represents an exciting and meaningful chapter for our team, and we are proud to contribute to preserving and enhancing such a significant cultural asset.

With preparations already underway for the theatre’s reopening including the much-anticipated Cinderella pantomime on 12 December, the year ahead promises to be a special one for The Orchard Theatre and the wider community.

We look forward to continuing our involvement in this landmark project and supporting the theatre as it enters an exciting new era.

FORS is a voluntary scheme that encourages fleet operators to work above industry standards, promoting safety, efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Maintaining silver shows we’re not just compliant but working to best practice. We closely monitor fuel use, emissions and environmental impact demonstrating our commitment to continuous improvement.

Silver accreditation also means our vehicles carry enhanced safety features, helping protect both our drivers and road users.

This status strengthens our position when bidding for contracts that require WRRR (Work-Related Road Risk) and CLOCS (Construction Logistics and Community Safety) compliance.

”A huge thank you to the entire team for their dedication and hard work in making this possible! Let’s continue pushing forward and maintaining these high standards together” – Darren Barton, Transport & Facilities Manager.

Working closely with Carbon Neutral Britain™, our organisation’s 2024 emissions have been measured in line with the ISO 14064 and GHG Protocol Accounting Standard. While reducing emissions remains a priority, we are also offsetting our impact through internationally certified carbon projects, supporting renewable energy, solar lighting, and sustainable agriculture worldwide.

Our latest report highlights the progress we have made. Waste related emissions fell by 4%, company vehicle emissions by 3%, and we have significantly upgraded our fleet. Last year we had just one fully electric vehicle and two hybrids. Today, we have six fully electric vehicles and four hybrids.

Our Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) commits us to halving emissions by 2030 and achieving Net Zero by 2050. By accurately measuring, offsetting, and committing to reduce our emissions each year, Clifford Devlin is not only Carbon Neutral today but also aligned with both Science Based Targets and UK Government requirements for carbon reduction. This is an important step forward, and we will continue to take action to reduce our carbon emissions as a business.
