COLIN HERRON
Managing DirectorProfile
I network, research then filter information to decide the business direction of ZCF. I use my experience and technical knowledge to try and plot technology trajectories and decide if ZCF should get involved. I work between academic, public bodies and industry so shape projects.
Favourite project
Creating a successful business with an international reputation supported by a fantastic team out of the ashes of the RDA when most pundits told us it could not be done.

“After over 40 years in the automotive sector it has just become really interesting as we are actually shaping the next 50 years of mobility.”
Finally…
I can’t stop working and still work on ZCF business out of work but mix it with volunteering for a homeless charity in Newcastle and I’m currently training for a marathon.
How will we reinvent the way we travel when cities reopen for business?
Nationwide lockdowns have brought with them significant reductions in air pollution but what will be the long-term effects on the way we travel?
WE’RE ENGINEERS, AUTOMOTIVE SPECIALISTS, PROBLEM SOLVERS, TRAINERS WITH A LARGE DOSE OF MARKETING THROWN IN. OUR SMALL TEAM IS MADE UP OF EQUAL PARTS PASSION, AGILITY AND DRIVE WHICH IS WHAT GIVES US OUR REPUTATION FOR DELIVERY.
It's a small but varied and interesting team at Zero Carbon Futures, and we all pull together on a daily basis to meet the challenges of the low carbon sector.
