Rob Greenland is co-founder and co-director of Social Business Brokers CIC.

​

Rob has worked in social enterprise for most of his working life.  He came to Leeds to study languages at university - and first got involved in the world of social change when he spent a year abroad as part of his course volunteering with a youth charity in Ecuador.

​

He worked for a number of years for a fairtrade co-operative in Leeds, and then worked in a variety of roles supporting people across West Yorkshire to set up social enterprises.  

​

He currently mostly works on Zero Waste Leeds - and is helping the social enterprise widen their work from waste reduction to a broader focus on the circular economy.  Current Zero Waste Leeds projects include Leeds School Uniform Exchange and Together For Sport.  

​

In his spare time you’ll mostly find him outdoors - either running or cycling, and he’s a Run Director at Potternewton Parkrun.  

 

You can find Rob on Twitter and LinkedIn, and he writes on the circular economy and other issues on Medium.
