Providing the highest quality, sustainable building materials across Yorkshire.
Over 25 years combined experience in the industry.
Our in-house team covers it all from design through to aftercare
Our motivation is sustainability without compromise. It is our mission, with the aid of progressive products and suppliers, to build using the best available now, to secure longevity of our homes, working environments and future. This can only be achieved by good design, workmanship and the understanding of future challenges. We have strong partnerships with, but are not tied to one supplier. This allows us to use our years of experience in the design and building industry to select the very best products based on design requirements, quality, aesthetics and budget. With these elements in mind our products are selected based on their sustainability and longevity credentials. Sustainability to us doesn’t mean ‘green’ in theory, true sustainability is achieved using quality, innovative products built to the highest standards.

Building a sustainable future
A huge development in products in the past 20 years has made building contemporary passive / carbon neutral homes more affordable. A huge increase in energy costs, regulations and a realisation we need to look after the Earth and preserve its resources has made it necessary.
Over 5 years preparation, thought and building relationships with suppliers has gone into developing Wharfedale Green and after finding the perfect location at Moss and Moor (Ilkley) we are now looking forward to working with the public and building industry as we strive to “build a sustainable future”.
Learn more about sustainability
Over 20 years commercial experience with an 11-year stretch in Brazil, where I witnessed the demolition of the Amazon Rain Forest at first hand. This sparked a fire within me that we need to do more to protect our planet.
On my return to the UK in 2016, I held commercial roles with the likes of PA Consulting and Telstra, taking an active role in their Corporate, Social, Responsibility endeavours.
But it wasn’t long before I wanted to make a bigger personal impact. I knew my friend, Paul, shared the same concerns around sustainability as I did, so we set about making a change, and Wharfedale Green was born.
An initial practical start to my working life including electrical work lead to an interest in design and mechanical engineering. While working at a Horsforth based design consultancy my passion for architecture and the environment developed.
In 2008 I set up my own design business. Although working on commercial and multi house developments was good experience, one off bespoke renovations and new builds are my passion and several recent passive / carbon neutral projects have bolstered my belief the future of building and building materials can be sustainable.
