If you know Will you can't fail to warm to his enthusiasm for and commitment to the work he does. And as a podcast host he is so genuine in his interest in the people he interviews that they naturally open up to him and share valuable insights. If I work with someone I very much value honesty and this is a quality I think Will has in spades.

Green Element is passionate about encouraging businesses to develop their relationship with the environment, leading to reduced overheads and improved ‘green’ credentials – powerful for financial growth and public and stakeholder opinion. The word ‘management’ within our company description is a vital differentiator. Although we are passionate about the environment we are driven by business objectives. We understand the challenges faced by companies of all sizes/sectors and tailor our services to fit. We work within your aims, your objectives, your culture and your timeframe. We genuinely care about the environment and pride ourselves on driving this same level of enthusiasm within our clients’ workforce. But we understand that any environmental project must motivate people, but not impinge on their work. Every staff member from cleaners to top management need to be engaged and we provide the impetus for inspiration, including key people in every element of decision-making implementation processes. My aim with Green Element is to grow a company that is both profitable and that makes a real difference to both the environment and the growth of our clients’ businesses. We think outside the box – drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, including our charity work, where we all spend at least one day per month volunteering at a charity of our choice. I firmly believe that you become a better business with different thoughts, ideas and perspectives. Our environmental policy is the embodiment of this and demonstrates our commitment to reduce our own company impact on the environment, as well as our clients.View the policy here: To watch our environmental policy visit our website: http://www.greenelement.co.uk/environmental-policy/ Our passionate and dedicated team of environmental analysts advise organisations on energy benchmarking and management, carbon footprint, energy procurement, environmental management and meeting statutory requirements.
