The Team
Who is Annie?


Annie Soulsby
Founder & CEO.
Certified Carbon Literacy Trainer
Annie has always been passionate about the environment. She first became aware of the fragility of our planet from hearing news reports as a child of the ’80s, watching the destruction of the rainforests, the devastating oil spills and the hole in the ozone layer. This spurred her to gain an undergraduate degree in Environmental Science from the University of Leeds and a Master’s in Conservation Biology from Manchester Metropolitan University.
She’s led ecologically focussed projects in Africa, won awards at a climate change solution competition at MIT University, consulted for the World Bank, and contributed to the IUCN’s Red List, an inventory of the global conservation status of biological species at the Institute of Zoology. She has eco renovated a house, chaired a local climate action group, been a spokesperson for a divestment campaign and was the climate champion of her hometown.
