Martin Chilcott
Listen to the excerpt to the left or: Listen to the full podcast >
Martin’s experience in launching and running successful internet businesses in the late 1990s, convinced him that the global community was once more at the brink of systemic change, this time, driven by the need to become sustainable.
Having witnessed the power of enterprise and digital technology to drive change, Martin was convinced business had to be at the heart of the sustainability revolution, and that web technologies would play a major role in accelerating the process.
As a result 2degrees – an Oxford based technology company specialising in resource efficiency software solutions – was born. Martin’s current focus is the company’s Manufacture 2030 platform and its unique cloud-based tool the Bee.
M2030 enables large corporations to reduce the carbon emissions in their global manufacturing supply chains by helping suppliers to use resources more sustainably, cutting operational costs and environmental impacts.

What an incredible week last week was . The first part of the week saw me back to travelling abroad. I I know that some of my colleagues have already travelled abroad but for me I was apprehensive and was slow on the uptake. However it is so nice to be in person speaking to fellow board members of the turnaround management association Europe and just spending time and having a lot of smiles and laughs. Thanks to @tmaglobal for being in attendance and of course to @chitownscottie and “Lady” @janemitnick
Special thanks to our President @davidbryan1956

Last week I took this photo of the sun setting. It reminded me that once in a while we need to “stop and take a look around once in a while”. This coincided with someone telling me today that I need to take time to recovery in between doing what I do - otherwise I just wear out. Remind of #ferrisbuellersdayoff.

Spent the early evening at a face to face event. Still feel surreal given I am meeting people that I have only met on @zoom or @microsoftteams. Tonight was a talk with the UK Secretary of State for @beisgovuk BEIS Mr Kwasi Kwarteng. Held @instituteofdirectors in london at Pall Mall. Policy and governance are at my core- being an advocate for businesses always.
Nice to meet @atgriffithsreal finally in person! .

Last of the summer . Summer nights . Missing it all.
A lonely tree stands and shines in the evening heat.
The smell of heat is in the air
The sweat beads drip
Stuck by the laptop
By choice as I professionally ans personally develop.
29 degrees tomorrow- fun 🤪😐.

One my recent articles for the business column in @yorkshirepost . One very appropriate for @instagram @tic_tok_videos_ and @twitter - in fact any social media or media platform where views or followers are chased. It I also applicable when brands personal or commercial associate with one another
What do you loose by association of brands ?

Nice to take time to visit the @banksy art collection by private collectors with the adorable @katmherbert finishing with a spot of lunch. A glorious day with a glorious friend. I did not exit through the gift shop 😆. Loved seeing the art (but is it art?) @anndanielsgb thought of you with the #wizardofoz art.
