The latest episode of Talks with Turquoise explores how businesses can turn sustainability from a challenge into a commercial opportunity.
Hosted by Turquoise managing director Ian Thomas, the episode features Mark Sait, founder and CEO of SaveMoneyCutCarbon, a former Low Carbon Innovation Fund 2 portfolio company that helps organisations reduce energy and water consumption while lowering costs and carbon emissions.
Mark reflects on the company’s growth over the past decade, from early beginnings through the disruption of the pandemic and the company’s return to a business-to- business focus.
He goes on to explain the recent move to become part of AIM-listed Haydale and why the next stage of growth called for a different approach to investment and innovation.
A former Turquoise portfolio company, SaveMoneyCutCarbon’s journey provides a unique perspective on how innovative businesses continue to evolve beyond investment. The discussion explores the decisions that shaped the company’s growth, the opportunities that emerged along the way and how adapting to changing market conditions has remained central to its strategy.
The episode also highlights:
- The practical challenges many organisations face as they work towards net zero
- How SaveMoneyCutCarbon supports customers across both the public and private sectors, from schools looking to fund decarbonisation projects to major hotel groups seeking to reduce rising energy costs while improving operational efficiency
- Why making sustainability financially viable is often the key to helping organisations take action
- The realities of fundraising, how leadership changes as companies grow and why having the right support network is essential when navigating the pressures of entrepreneurship
