About Mel I am the Creative Director and will lead the day-to-day operation of The Green Centre. I have 20 years experience in setting up and developing projects. In 1989, while working as a teacher, I set up National Non-Uniform Day. This was supported by UNICEF and became its most successful school fund-raising event, raising millions of pounds for overseas aid. 2009 is the 20th anniversary of this scheme. In 1997, I founded Cornerstones Independent School, a school that provides education for children with emotional and behavioural problems. The school received registration from the Department for Education and Skills, and passed two OFSTED inspections.

About Tony I am the Commercial Director and will oversee the commercial aspects of The Green Centre. Having spent the last 10 years helping others create business out of their good ideas, I am looking forward to helping to establish The Green Centre as a useful tool for the members of our community. Having initially trained as an accountant, I was drawn into the arena of using technology to develop business ideas. I have spent many years helping to develop the paperless society and much of my time is spent on consulting in e-business and related matters in the EU. Recent start-ups include an on-line shop for natural health remedies and an on-line business to help individuals to interpret their personal and cultural values so that they can develop their opportunities at work.
