Obie Enninful, project officer for Burnley, said: "This is an opportunity for businesses to meet our team and see how we can help them introduce more walking, cycling and car sharing, improve the health and well-being of their workforce and also consider ways to reduce their carbon footprint.

"It will also be a chance to hear from some companies already working with us and the positive impact of our support."
