My love for bees began as a simple hobby in rural Lincolnshire. Over the years, that passion has grown into a mission.

With 20 years in the construction and property industry, I watched Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) become a key part of business. When redundancy led me to the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, I saw an opportunity to turn my commitment to sustainability into something truly meaningful.

Beekeeping has always been close to my heart, but beyond the joy it brings, it plays a crucial role in protecting our environment. Inspired to make a difference, I began working with businesses I had known for years, offering them a unique way to support the future of the honey bee—one of nature’s most vital pollinators.

My office became the garden, my colleagues the bees.

Through education, collaboration, and hands-on experiences, I help companies embrace sustainability by raising awareness and taking action for the magnificent honey bee. But it doesn’t stop there. I have a deep passion for community outreach and hope to expand my work with schools and local groups, inspiring the next generation to care for our pollinators.

We want to do our part in reversing the decline of honeybees and other pollinators. While we love the sticky stuff, this journey isn’t about commercial honey production. However, we would love to see more than the current 14% of honey sold in the UK being British—and for all honey on the market to be the real thing.

Beyond sustainability, I am also fascinated by the medicinal properties of honey. Used for centuries as a natural remedy, honey has incredible antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and healing qualities. From soothing sore throats to aiding wound healing, it’s a true gift from the hive—one that deserves to be better understood and appreciated.

Join us in making a lasting impact—for the bees, for our communities, and for the planet.
