Simon Webb has been Tidy Planet’s proud managing director for the last 8 years. He’s always had a fascination with speed and engineering – from an early age he could take almost anything apart and put it together again, except his Mum’s car, which he drove into a swimming pool aged 18 months. By 17 he had built his own Land Rover from scrap and went on to study automotive engineering at Coventry University. Simon shares a love of horticulture with his Dad, the late John Webb, and together they set about developing the Rocket® Composter with a view to reducing organic waste to landfill back in 1998. A bit of a green pioneer, Simon spends his free time putting his love of the environment and mechanical brain together dreaming up sustainable solutions that help keep the planet beautiful and tidy. |

Sharon Turner is Tidy Planet's Operations Manager.
Sharon is passionate about the environment and particularly all of her four legged friends that live in it. Whether it's wooing a new customer or testing her juggling skills, Simon likes to keep her busy managing his ridiculous schedule whilst also looking after all the operations at Tidy Planet. Sharon's media background stand's her in good stead to manage the huge variety of tasks and enquiries that flood through the door at Derwent House, so when she escapes from behind her desk, she keeps calm by spending time with her beautiful chocolate Labrador "Beau" and by riding her horse! |
