About Tommy:
Since 2002 Tommy’s company Forth Resource Management has provided a sustainable recycling solution for garden waste generated across South East Scotland and currently handles 70,000 tonnes per annum.

What the judges said:
“Another great entry, different from the rest. Great vision and a green perspective.”
“Very clear articulation to contribution to UN sustainable development goals.”
What Tommy said:
“To win the first ever Alumni Entrepreneur Network award for Environmental Sustainability means a great deal to me. The idea to start an organics recycling company directly stemmed from a college project on farm diversification.”
