Our vision for a one stop green shop, came about in early 2006 over drinks in a pub down the road which served delicious local food. I remarked that it was a shame that there wasn’t a directory which listed all the places that serve local food in town; little did I know of then of the path we’d travel in the next few months or seven to set up our very own ethical enterprise following that chance comment. From that simple remark made over a few drinks we have evolved into what is now GreenFinder.co.uk.Our vision was of a site where people of all different shades of green (from light green folk with a passing interest in the environment to the dark greenies among you who are saving the world as we speak) could quickly and easily find that green gift for Mum’s birthday or look up the most environmentally friendly way to visit Scotland. We also wanted it to be a place where you could find out about recycling facilities in your area, which engineer to call out to fix that solar panel to your roof and somewhere you could learn about the different projects and people in your area who are working for a cleaner, greener planet. Our plan was to also pass on useful tips and advice and perhaps give you some food for thought with our surprising statistics and “did you knows?”
