Happy Team, Happy Clients
The Solve team’s happiness levels are super important. If they are happy, they work well and you get better results. And we like working with happy clients too. We conduct regular in-house surveys to ask our team if they are satisfied, engaged and if they have any suggestions. Here is the team feedback here.
Now, let’s introduce them…

”’My journey towards xero waste living began over 10 years ago, when working for sustainably conscious businesses opened my eyes to the environmental and social impact of my life choices. Since then, I have relished challenging accepted habits, and am working hard towards a zero-waste lifestyle. It is important to me that I share my life and work with people who truly care about the impact they make on the world”
