Not only did the team develop excellent skills and experience it really benefitted our charity. The team went on to win the regional APM (Association for Project Management) challenge competition for the zoo project.

They also benefit from our corporate discount offers for their staff to visit and enjoy the zoo.
2019 saw the refurbishment of an old enclosure which was only made possible by the donation and fitting of the glass panels from our friends at Cornwall Glass. Their generosity has led to the zoo housing two Red-handed Tamarins, a first for the charity.
DCW Devon Contract Waste and Polymers
Devon Contract Waste has proudly supported DZS since 2012. They freely provide a vital waste management service making us a ‘Zero to Landfill’ attraction.

In 2020 the Recycle and Raise campaign now includes more plastics to include milk bottle tops, takeaway containers and labelled P5.
The Managing Director of DCW also provides his time and expertise as a trustee for our charity.
