🌱 Community spotlight: Green Software Brighton
Interested in building tech that’s better for the planet? Green Software Brighton is a growing community bringing together developers, designers and digital folk who care about the environmental impact of what they build.
They run regular talks, workshops and roundtables on topics like web sustainability, green hosting, cloud infrastructure and the carbon footprint of AI. It’s practical, down-to-earth stuff you can actually apply.
The vibe is classic Brighton tech: friendly, informal, and welcoming. Expect pizza and drinks, useful talks, and usually a pub trip afterwards.
Backed by the Green Software Foundation and supported by Silicon Brighton, they’re part of a wider movement to make sustainability a core part of software development.

They’re currently looking for speakers — if you’ve got an idea worth sharing, apply here.
Job of the week
Ecommerce Assistant, Bird & Blend Tea Co. Worthing, hybrid 🐦 🫖
Bird & Blend Tea Co. are hiring an Ecommerce Assistant to support their growing online retail operation. Based out of their Worthing HQ (with hybrid working), this role sits at the heart of the business — working across marketing, CRM and trading teams to help optimise the online customer experience and keep things running smoothly day-to-day.
It’s a great opportunity to join a fast-growing, B Corp-certified brand with a strong focus on sustainability, people, and “reimagining tea” — with plenty of scope to learn and develop in a scaling business.
That’s it for this week!
If you know someone who should be plugged into the Sussex digital scene, pass this on.
The more people involved, the more useful it becomes for everyone.
See you next week,
Mark
