Jeremy Money – Managing Director

Jeremy MoneyJeremy grew up in Cornwall where he developed a love for the outdoors and nature. This has stayed with him throughout his life. After leaving school Jeremy  spent a  year of travelling and working before going  to University in Bristol where he gained a degree in Urban Development and Planning.

On graduating Jeremy set off on a world trip which he funded by working as a tree surgeon. On return to the UK in 2000 Jeremy was offered a role as a recruiter in the environmental sector. He has  recruited in the environmental, renewables and planning sectors ever since.
