At FIVE Create we have a mission to improve people’s lives. We design and produce industry-changing consumer electronics by utilising circular design strategies, new sustainable materials and our own unique design methodology. A team of positive, committed and highly driven people who strive to be curious, insightful and honest, we make sure that everyone who encounters FIVE is inspired to help make the world a better place.Having spent many years in the design industry, we've seen hundreds of products marketed as ‘sustainable’ that fall short of the promises they make. That’s why we founded FIVE and are committed to the circular design process where premium design products are created with the end of their life in mind. This approach removes many conventional material options, so we find natural alternatives. We have to be inventive and rigorous in our choices and supply chain, but we enjoy rising to that challenge. And we excel at it. Made from renewable and natural materials, our pioneering product, Briiv is the world’s most sustainable air filter and has already won design awards from Gold A’ and Red Dot.A forward-thinking UK OEM, we are one of the growing movement of green design and tech businesses committed to advancing the circular economy and being caretakers of the planet. We are proud to be B Corps, verified by B Lab as a trustworthy company that meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.As co-founder and managing director, my mission is for FIVE to set the example of how green tech business works, reengineering consumer electronics to give people the choice to make better decisions for the planet. Challenging accepted thinking and disrupting markets, I guide our projects from ideation to reality and drive our commercial strategy. Building on the deep product design, engineering, sourcing and marketing expertise of the three founders, we have built an amazing and talented team in just two years and are going from strength to strength.We offer the most sustainable and circular products in our industry, designed to embrace and embody our core belief that to truly heal the planet we need to learn to work with nature and not simply take from it.
