With a background in identifying, creating, and investing in sustainable businesses, I have a passion for helping businesses. I’ve been told I’m a catalyst for change and demystify the process of growing businesses while improving sustainability.
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.
My media company started trading domains in 2005 and specialises in the green digital space. My passion for the environment allowed me to secure single-word domains such as recycling.com.
