Here’s what Daniel Ross, Chief Executive Officer of The Royal College of Pathologists, said on working with us:

“I was particularly impressed with the collaborative nature of Beyond Green’s work and how they adapted their process to meet our needs. They understood the importance of gathering perspectives from various departments within the college and were skilled facilitators to enable our team to contribute. They always took a pragmatic approach to any challenges with quantification, so we did not drain our resources; and ensured we now have a Net Zero roadmap with clear actions.” – Daniel Ross, Chief Executive Officer of The Royal College of Pathologists

Team Changes

Welcome to the team, Luke!

He has already demonstrated these skills by contributing to Business Energy Scotland projects, where he builds rapport with clients and supports successful project delivery through precise calculations and assistance to senior advisors. Luke was drawn to Beyond Green because of its value-driven ethos and is excited to deepen his knowledge of the industry and making a meaningful impact. Welcome to the team, Luke!

Sally is moving on

We’re saying good-bye to Sally, who has been with us as a Business Support Assistant and then Business Development Specialist for almost 2 years. During her time with us, she’s been supporting our sustainability advisors in keeping projects on track through excellent administration support, led on our document management improvements which transformed our process and helped build our accessibility mindset into our business development processes.

Sally is smiling at the camera. She has medium dark brown hair and is wearing a professional looking striped shirt.

Sally always found time to help others, especially new team members while they settled into the team. Sally is now moving on to focus on her family for a while. We wish her all the best for the future!

“It has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of this team and I have loved working with and getting to know everyone. I will miss you all and being involved in BG projects and operations. Thank you to Paul and Lisa for creating such a fun, compassionate and interesting place to work. I have gained an indescribable amount of skills, knowledge and experience in the last two years!” – Sally
