Client Facing Team

Dr Greg Lavery, Founder

Frustrated by the 300 tonnes of office furniture going to landfill every working day in the UK, in 2014 Greg put his Engineering background and PhD in sustainable buildings to work. He developed a system to cost-effectively remanufacture high quality unwanted furniture to as-new condition. Rype was born.

Prior to Rype, Greg’s passion for profitable sustainability led him to start, and grow to market leadership, Australia’s leading solar business and design profitable decarbonisation strategies and businesses for some of the world’s largest organisations during his time at consultants Bain and Booz Allen.

Greg has managed a range of decarbonisation buisnesses, including a heat pump business, an alternative vehicle fuel business, an energy efficiency consultancy and an ESCO.
