APE

We are a sustainability and innovation studio. We believe in the power of enterprise to do good. Whilst business has created most of the problems we face we believe it is the only thing that can solve them. We are a team of environmental scientists, business experts and creatives who believe that design is the most powerful environmental tool.

Not an environmental consultancy.

Not an insight/innovation agency.

Not a business consultancy.

All three.

We have 33 years experience of using sustainability

to create competitive advantage and keep you

relevant.

Kind Words

“Coaching with mark has been a great experience. After my first session I felt like I’d been completely dismantled, very carefully put back together again - with a much better understanding of the pieces that make me who i am.”

“Mark is an inspiration and a positive breath of Fresh Air. We first met when I was studying my MA at De Montfort University and he gave us a guest talk. His story telling was powerful, insightful and inspirational, and his ability challenge the norms and break the mould sets him apart both as a human and a professional from most other people I've come across.

If you're looking for sincerity, fresh ideas and a kick up the bum to make some steps forward with what your goals are then Mark is the guy to talk to.”

“I turned up unsure about how to speak about myself and my story. The Authentic Presenting workshop gave me the tools and techniques that actually help me recently when introducing myself and my brand to someone i admired and respected. This has given me a confidence boost and it’s thanks to mark’s amazing workshop!'“

“Mark is a joy to work with. He beautifully brings all that he is to all that he works on - with energy, humour and humility. He blends brilliant experience with an open mind and contagious excitement about 'what if' possibilities. He is generous with his time, his spirt and his hot bastard chilli sauce.
