Scott Simpson

Chief Technical Officer – Founder

Scott is the innovator entrepreneur who set up the mill and developed the products. After leading the company as CEO for the first six years of start-up, he is now focused on process and product improvement, R&D and innovation to scale and explore further market opportunities.

While working in community development with people in poor housing conditions, he was motivated to improve the health of people and the planet by focusing on a sustainable built environment. After completing an MSc in Architecture (Advanced Environmental and Energy Systems) and researching natural bio-based construction materials in the lab, Scott rebuilt his family home with them in Scotland using skills gained as a builder in Vancouver. Finding gaps in the market, he brought together co-founders to develop and manufacture the world's best sustainable construction insulation on an industrial scale - and set up the UK’s first dedicated natural fibre insulation factory.

Through the EU Climate KIC accelerator, he took the company to place amongst the Top 6 Cleantech Startups in Europe in 2018.
