Welcome to Brian Cleere's Website

Is sustainability on your radar but strategy, funding and compliance feel like a maze you cannot escape?

You’re not alone. For many SMEs sustainability isn't just a compliance box, it is a chance to cut costs, attract new customers and unlock value chains. The challenge? Knowing where to start and how to fund it.

At Cleere Sustainable Projects, I turn sustainability into cash-flow and business improvements - deliver grant ready applications, lender ready reports and buyer ready sustainability packs in under 8 weeks.

I also provide future-proof reporting to keep you ahead of compliance and investor expectations. By turning sustainability into a strategic advantage, I will help position your business for smarter growth, resilience, and long-term success?
