Peter Goodwin

Co-Founder

Prior to co-founding co-cre8 in 2019, Peter spent 10 years as a UK Director of Closed Loop Environmental Solutions. With a passion for recycling and, as one of the UK’s leading exponents of promoting more circular solutions, Peter created and delivered many pioneering industry projects, most notably the Simply Cups scheme.

As such, his practical expertise in steering and co-ordinating collaborative projects in complex multi-stakeholder environments has played a key role in the success of co-cre8. Peter is responsible for the day to day management of the business and is known as our creatively thinking ‘ideas’ man (!)

“What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?”
“Whilst the commonest piece of advice I am given is to stop talking so much, the best piece was to simply be yourself”

James Capel

Co-Founder

James has over 20 years’ experience in the waste and recycling industry. Starting with just one second hand truck, he founded and developed Simply Waste Solutions into a thriving, profitable business with a £35m turnover. In 2020, James decided that he was ready for new challenges and took Simply Waste to a successful exit, selling to Biffa plc for £40m.

James co-founded co-cre8 in 2019 with a vision to continually innovate solutions that ensure a more circular approach to resource management. He not only brings a wealth of expertise in operations and logistics, but also strong leadership to the co-cre8 team. James is responsible for establishing overall group strategy and steering the future direction of the business.

“What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?”
“My Dad used to say ‘keep your eyes open and your mouth shut’ – old school advice but very valuable!”

Natalie Capel

Director

Natalie joins the co-cre8 team with extensive knowledge and experience in waste, recycling, and circular business models, with her speciality in Finance. For the last 17 years, Natalie has worked, and was a shareholder, in a start-up, high growth to exit waste and recycling business, with 15 years spent at board level.

Natalie brings with her key skills in finance and people development in high energy businesses with a purpose. Her insights will help co-cre8 scale up to serve the burgeoning demands on business in the circular economy, and she looks forward to building and developing a high performing team with an emphasis on profitability, accuracy and high-quality reporting.

“What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?”
“I think it would have to be ‘If you fail, get up and try again”

Georgia Bell

Sales & Marketing

Georgia joined the team at co-cre8 in 2020 and is responsible for developing the business through creative thinking and effective communication via sales and marketing channels.

Georgia has a background in hospitality and previously worked with James at Simply Waste Solutions, gaining experience and knowledge of the exciting and ever-changing waste and recycling industry.
After taking a two-year career break, to travel around Southeast Asia and Australia in 2018, Georgia is now focused on building co-cre8’s position ‘centre stage’ as a leader in sustainable practice and circular design.

“What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?”
“I live by the rule that everything in life happens for a reason, even if you are unsure of it at the time. But best advice – if you want it, go get it.”

Rachel Goodman

Operations

Rachel originally joined the co-cre8 team in 2019 as Customer Service Specialist for Simply Cups. Her role has since evolved, following the launch of the Built Environment range, where she now heads up all logistics including supplier liaising, order processing and general operations of the business.

Rachel has a rich teaching background. She taught secondary PE in England for 7 years and moved to France in 2011 to teach English in Business for a further 7 years. While in France, she also co-owned an antique refurbishment business with her sister, which she thoroughly enjoyed.

“What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?”
“When I was at university, our lecturers hammered into us ‘Failure to prepare is preparation for failure’, it’s so true and I now live by this!”
