Northbeam Collective

At Northbeam, we believe sustainability should be empowering, not overwhelming.

I’m John, the founder of Northbeam and your go-to sustainability advisor. I’ve spent years working across the built environment and local government, helping to shape and deliver multi-million pound projects with sustainability at their core. As a qualified BREEAM Accredited Professional (AP), I support projects to achieve high levels of environmental performance through one of the most widely recognised green building standards in the world.

But I know not every business has the resources of a big developer or council department. That’s where Northbeam steps in.

We’re here to help small businesses cut through complexity and make sense of the ever-changing world of sustainability legislation. Whether you need to get compliant, reduce your carbon footprint, rethink your supply chain, or simply make a start — we offer practical, straight-talking support.

My background also gives me a deep understanding of how sustainability connects with leadership, workplace culture, and mental health. The human side of business matters. And sustainability isn’t just about systems and data — it’s about people, purpose and resilience.

If you’re a small business looking for clear guidance, trusted advice, and a partner who understands the bigger picture, then let’s talk.

Get in touch today and let’s build something better, together.
