Business Breakfast: Swinton Estate partners with carbon measurement firm
The Swinton Estate is to partner with based Climate Solutions Exchange Ltd (CSX), through investment in the company.
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
The Swinton Estate in Masham is to partner with Climate Solutions Exchange Ltd (CSX), through investment in the company.
The partnership builds on the existing Estate's involvement in the development of ground studies of CSX’s natural capital measurement and audit systems.
Swinton said CSX’s earth observation technology will help accelerate private sector investment into localised environmental recovery projects and allows land managers to strengthen delivery of nature-based solutions.
The company's technology is already providing the estate with a good baseline of data in Carbon Observatory woodland sites, and the partnership will be advantageous in the development of Swinton Estate’s ‘Ecosystem Services’ offering.
Mark Cunliffe-Lister, owner of the Swinton Estate, said
"Farmers and landowners are increasingly conscious of the need to deliver environmental benefits alongside primary food production. In addition to public funding, it is imperative that private natural capital markets can expand with confidence to support continued sustainable land management.
"CSX provides a valuable component in that service and we are very excited to be supporting the development of their platform".

Mike Sharp joins Begbies Traynor
Lawyer and insolvency expert Mike Sharp (pictured) has joined independent business rescue and recovery specialist Begbies Traynor.
Mr Sharp will be working as an insolvency consultant, across its offices in York and Teesside.
With over 35 years’ experience, Mr Sharp's career in insolvency law began in 1985 and includes senior roles, such as finance partner, at leading law firms in Harrogate as well as, most recently, working for a small, independent insolvency practice.
He has worked in North Yorkshire and lived in Ripon for the last 20 years.
After retiring 15 months ago, he has decided to return to work:
Mr Sharp comments:
“I’ve known the guys at Begbies Traynor for many years – I like them and I trust them so when I was offered the chance to help support the Yorkshire and Teesside operations, it was too good an opportunity to miss.
"I’m pleased to be part of such a reputable team and, with my expertise in the field, I hope to further boost their capacity to support businesses across the region.”
Julian Pitts, managing partner for Begbies Traynor in Yorkshire, said:
“Having known Mike since the 1980s, I am well aware of his knowledge and skills. To have someone with his reputation and experience joining our busy York and Teesside offices is great news.
"Over the last seven years, we have seen a huge growth in demand for our services here and will be continuing to expand the team.”
