I. I think I bring a variety of skills that quite happy getting involved in anything from data, quite happy being put up on stage. I am Mark Entwisle, I'm the founder and chairman of Carbon Tech. I think my vision at the start was quite simplistic and that was really to make a success of it. But I think very quickly I started to recognise the power of data and I started to see the real benefits for bringing environmental efficiencies in being able to demonstrate the value that one asset has over another. I think the biggest challenge for carbon tax is really the industry that we serve. It's staffed with finance and therefore when you try and offer a service that looks forward, that looks at the art of the possible, trying to harness longer term savings, it's a real challenge. I think the biggest success for me in Carbotech journey has really been the exposure that we get having engaged in conversations with the Department for Transport and seeing things like Kew Gardens use our platform to manage what is the epicentre of tree knowledge. It really gives you that kind of depth of credibility in that warm glow inside where you think actually we're obviously doing a good job here. I think I'd still love to achieve something that moves the industry forward and is scalable nationally. We do some really clever stuff with different authorities. You can really see the value that is added. So I would really like to see something that actually took momentum across the whole industry. My hobbies outside of work, anything that I can get my heart racing with the fear of breaking something without actually breaking something ticks a box for me. Something that might surprise people? Well, I've signed up for the UK Jet Surfing Championships, which sees me compete as part of the UK race team with other countries and other riders across the world. My favorite dessert is Black Forest Gateau, but only if it's done right. Ohh, definitely pineapple on pizza, there's no question about that. Do I have a favorite service station? No.
