About who are we

 The team comprises a unique mixture of Engineering, Psychology and Digital Media skills - uniting with the common purpose of creating the greatest possible positive change.

Andrew Smith PhD CEng BEng

Anyone who knows Andrew will say he is massively passionate about bringing our Carbon emissions down. He has worked in numerous industries bringing about improvements and coaching behaviour change. As an Engineer though, his feet are firmly rooted on the ground when it comes to practicalities. He says lightening our footprints is everyone's challenge and thus is comfortable working with absolutely anyone, from Corporate Directors to householders. 2006 saw him found ZapCarbon, and it's kept him rather busy ever since.

Dale Holroyd MSc BSc

Dale likes the idea that it's possible to influence thousands of people using online communication and technology and has always been passionate about behaviour change. He is a Certified Internet Consultant and has vast experience working with large corporates as well as small start-ups in developing online communication strategies. A common interest in community and carbon emissions resulted in Dale and Andrew partnering in 2008.

Sally Whitley MSc

Joe is our latest recruit to the consultancy team. With a degree in Psychology and Masters in Environmental Science he brings a dynamism and passion to the team. He is very keen to help others make a difference and never lets a Carbon-saving opportunity pass by unaddressed.

If Joe's on your project, you can be sure of a good result.
