MEET THE TEAM
Co-founder
Caro
After finishing a Renewable Energy Engineering degree with first class at Exeter Uni, Caro worked with remote and marginalised communities to install renewable energy systems in Indonesian Borneo, Peru and the Philippines for institutions such as Engineers without Borders and Wind Aid.
Returning to Cornwall after a severe motor accident, a BBC 4 program put her on the path of seaweed. Being an avid surfer, ocean junkie and good food lover, establishing The Cornish Seaweed Company was the most natural thing to do.
Co-founder
Tim
A passion for nature, wild places and different cultures made Tim emerge from his birth place in below-sea-level Holland. He has and continues to explore some of the more remote places and people on the planet, conducting different conservation projects.
But the pull of the ocean never faded, and the South West’s clear oceans and surf-lined beaches meant that base is Cornwall. If surfing and running the coastal path can be combined with days of snorkeling and foraging and growing seaweed, all the better!
