Green Economy, part of The Growth Company, has appointed Stuart Roberts as associate director as it expands its national presence.
Roberts brings more than 15 years’ experience across business development, sustainability consultancy, the built environment, commercial energy solutions and education.

In the role, he will lead business development, grow the Greater Manchester firm’s consultancy and commercial services, as well as oversee strategic partnerships supporting green tech development and public-sector policy delivery.
“My focus is on building relationships that help businesses, organisations and regions meet their sustainability goals, while balancing business profitability, economic development and productivity targets,” said Roberts.
“From consultancy and training to research and programme development, we’re building the tools and partnerships needed to turn environmental policy into action.
“We’re open to conversations with businesses, organisations, local and central government to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy.
“Let’s work together to drive decarbonisation, unlock green growth, and create a more sustainable future.”
