We are founders who design, build and advise.
Who we are
As founders we’ve become commercial Swiss Army knives. We know how (and how not) to sell, communicate and innovate - having learned from our own mistakes, with our own money. Our approach is ruthlessly practical, cutting through complexity to get things done.
Featured Insights
From selling biodiversity credits to developers through programmes like Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) in the UK, to spinning-up associated eco-tourism ventures - a bold few estate owners are leading the way, proving that nature restoration can also be great business.
In times of heightened regulatory, geopolitical and environmental uncertainty it’s as challenging as ever to derive secure and stable revenues from land and property holdings. The key to resilience is, as it has always been, diversity.
The UK wine industry is booming - with over 4,000 hectares (c. 10,000 acres) of vines now in active production across a thousand vineyards. More than 200 wineries are now in operation - together producing nearly nine million bottles of wine in 2023. Compare this to 2018 when production totalled a little over three million bottles, and you get an idea of the pace of change.
Battle-tested business advice.
Business advice is as valuable as the experience behind it - yet most consultants have never started or run a company.
Blackdown is different.
We’re founders who’ve built businesses from the ground up, with our own money. As a result we have an uncompromising, entrepreneurial approach to business - and zero-tolerance for waste.
We have a ruthless eye for what works because we’ve paid to learn it.
At Blackdown we roll up our sleeves and get things done.
