He has helped seven group offices begin their journey in electrifying fleets and promoting sustainable practices. 


Jamie’s advice is to start taking action towards sustainability, rather than being stuck in analysis paralysis. Even simple steps like creating a recycling area in the office can make a difference, as everyone has a responsibility to the planet.
