BEAMZ, a Social Enterprise based in Sholing, Southampton, are developing the technology and craft to make high-performance bicycles out of locally grown Birch-wood poles. Beautiful, entirely individual bikes are the result, whilst energy sustainability, wildlife diversity and social sustainability are the objectives. Find out how traditional craft techniques and high technology are combined to achieve these results. BEAMZ represents an experiment in holistic enterprise, where beautiful products, care of the environment and high-wellbeing jobs are synergystic.
