Speakers
Richard Hagan
Richard Hagan's journey to net zero began in 2015 when a planned biomass burner installation was denied planning permission. This environmental setback highlighted the critical importance of sustainability for his business, Crystal Doors, founded in 1994.
Driven by determination and passion, Hagan embarked on a mission to prove that even small businesses can make a significant impact on the environment. Despite resource constraints, he focused on implementing sustainable practices across all aspects of Crystal Doors' operations.
His achievements include:
-IEMA Carbon & Energy Reduction Award (2020)
-Queen's Award for Sustainable Enterprise (2021)
-Edie UK Sustainable Business Leader (2021)
-UK Sustainable SME - Business Green
-B Corp 130 score (2023)
Today, he supports organisations such as the IoD, GM Chamber, FSB, Make UK, Made Smarter, GMIOT, and Rochdale's climate emergency initiative. He also works with dozens of companies from all sectors and sizes to inspire, educate, and guide them on their journey to net zero.
Hagan's approach focuses on digital transformation, productivity, positive cash flow, and business culture. In 2023, he sold Crystal Doors to an Employee Owned Trust, enabling it to continue its sustainability efforts and support the wider community.
