My ongoing pursuit of improved sustainability, and understanding and improving the impact of business on the environment to the benefit of both drives me daily to learn, explore, improve, and implement.
EcoCabs began in 2006 thanks to my purchase of a memorable phone number (600600). It has grown into a successful transport company with a fleet of electric and hybrid vehicles. Over a decade ago, we diversified into leisure with EcoCycles, a bike and hike support service.
