SMALL TODAY. SOMETHING TO BUILD ON.
Evergreen Assessment is my independent sustainability and climate resilience consultancy. My work helps organisations make sense of sustainability, prepare for climate risks and turn their commitments into practical action.
There is already client work and experience to build on. I’d like to bring together complementary strengths, develop a stronger offer and actively win work together.
A PROPOSED STARTING POINT
We would start small, be open about the finances and agree what each of us is putting in. Here is the arrangement I’d like to explore.
01
A 90-day trial to develop and sell one joint offer. We agree a manageable weekly commitment and cap unpaid development time before we begin.
02
We agree project fees, payment for delivery and how winning work is recognised. This proposal does not include a guaranteed salary at the outset.
03
We agree in writing the stake that could be earned, the contributions it recognises and the timetable. The percentage is something to work through together.
04
We shape the offer, choose the work and review progress together. Decision-making, future membership and leaving arrangements form part of the ownership discussion.
These are proposed principles for a conversation. No equity allocation, employment offer or legal terms have been agreed.
WHAT I WANT US TO STAND FOR
We should be able to point to everyday choices that back up what we say.
Support claims with evidence, acknowledge uncertainty and challenge work that would mislead.
Be open about money, recognise contributions and respect each other’s time and responsibilities.
Work remotely where practical, make equipment last and keep improving our own environmental impact.
Help build a viable business through strong relationships, useful services and work delivered well.
BUILD EVERGREEN WITH ME
FIRST, TALK
Compare our strengths, ambitions and availability. Be honest about what each of us needs.
THEN, TEST
Speak to potential clients, develop a proposal and aim to win a paid pilot together.
AT 90 DAYS, REVIEW
Review commercial evidence and how we work together, then decide whether to formalise a partnership.
A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Relationships are valuable, but so are complementary skills and a useful new offer. What matters is a clear commitment to helping create and retain work together.
That is something I’m open to. We would need to agree availability, client boundaries, conflicts and what belongs to the joint business.
No. I currently own the business. This is an invitation to explore a route towards shared ownership, with details agreed before anyone relies on them.
I work remotely first, buy second-hand equipment and volunteer locally with the National Trust. I’m also building the evidence for the business’s first footprint and reviewing areas such as banking and digital services. This is work in progress; I’m not claiming the business is net zero.
A CONVERSATION, TO BEGIN WITH
Tell me what you do, what you would like to build and why this way of working appeals to you.
