At the age of 27, Joss Ford is the founder of Enviral, an ethical brand marketing agency which works with brands to create and communicate their environmental and social purpose. A graduate of The School of Earth and Environment at Leeds University and CISL (Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership), Joss has been instrumental in helping brands operate more sustainably. Joss certainly practices what he preaches with commitments to plant trees for every new Enviral client, newsletter sign-up and every business event he attends and he even offsets his website servers. Joss’s personal mission is to change day to day business operations, with trees as his main currency force for positive change. A recent campaign with a sustainable brand saw one client plant over 5,000 trees through this mentality!
Joss is involved with numerous environmental charities including Surfers Against Sewage, #2MinuteBeachClean and Protect Our Winters, and has worked with a number of organisations to spread positive, educational messages on combatting the effects of climate change and marine plastic. Through these campaigns, Joss has been successful in engaging consumers and encouraging others to safeguard the planet for future generations.
Joss has also pledged that Enviral staff will dedicate time each week to support local charities, The Roots Street Team and The Marmalade Trust, in combatting homelessness and loneliness.
As a start-up, Joss would benefit from this new community by enabling him to expand his sustainable network and meet more like-minded eco-warriors who can help create and spread environmental messages, and aid Joss in his mission to build a more sustainable future.
