About Us Green Works was founded by Colin Crooks, the current CEO in 2000. As an environmental consultant, he became aware of the huge volume of office furniture that was routinely land-filled and yet as a councillor Colin realised that many third sector organisations could not afford decent furniture. A potential market and supply source for recycled office furniture existed but could not easily be linked. The need was for a large space to store the redundant furniture whilst new owners were found. Green Works was created to provide the solution. |
Today Green Works is an award winning charity. As a not for profit social enterprise it is unique in providing a national service managing and recycling redundant office furniture on an industrial scale. The service is provided through a growing network of delivery partners each established charities and social enterprises in their own right, all working to support and regenerate their local communities often in deprived inner city locations.
