Nick is co-founder and co-CEO of Ocean Bottle whose pioneering work has already prevented 7,112,382 kgs of plastics from heading into the oceans. His passion to pursue a business model that puts the mission ahead of profit lies behind the creation of a reusable water bottle company which funds work to remove plastics from our oceans.
After graduating from Edinburgh University, Nick completed a Masters in Management at the London Business School. Here he met fellow student Will Pearson whose interest in solving the ocean plastic crisis inspired them to go into business together.
For every Ocean Bottle sold, the company funds the work to collect 1,000 used plastic bottles from riverbanks, roads and beaches. This is achieved by partnering with Plastic Bank and other reputable organisations which remove plastic before it reaches the ocean, in Indonesia, the Philippines, Haiti, Brazil, and Egypt.
Nick and Ocean Bottle have won a number of awards, including the Silver award at the global award Young Founder of the Year 2022; London Business School’s Accomplished Entrepreneurs Award Early Stage Winner 2021; Forbes 30 Under 30 2020; Green Product Award 2020; Environmental Company of the Year at the London Business Awards 2020; and the Red Dot Product Award 2020.
