Eco Green Living Welcomes Mike Heler as Chairman of the Board
Eco Green Living is delighted to announce the appointment of Mike Heler as Chairman of the Board, marking another pivotal moment in our journey to make sustainable living simple, scalable, and mainstream.
Mike is an entrepreneur and respected industry leader with decades of experience in food manufacturing, innovation, and business growth. His appointment brings further strength to Eco Green Living’s leadership team as we continue to expand nationally and internationally.
A Proven Track Record in Growth and Innovation
Mike’s career has been defined by building businesses with resilience, innovation, and long-term impact. From growing a small cheese-making operation into a company with three UK sites and nearly 500 employees, to receiving the Queen’s Award for Industry Innovation in 2001, Mike has consistently demonstrated the ability to scale businesses that others once underestimated.
Reflecting on this journey, he notes with pride how his company expanded into a broad product range while employing hundreds of staff — including his son George as Managing Director. These experiences have shaped his belief in persistence, common sense, and building organisations that last.
Why Eco Green Living?
Mike’s decision to join Eco Green Living was inspired by his first meeting with co-founder James Cook.
“When I met James and saw the product range, I knew this was something exciting. After my first board meeting with Julie and the team, it was clear Eco Green Living had something very special to offer — and I wanted to be part of it.”
As someone who has spent his career in food manufacturing — an industry where sustainability, waste reduction, and carbon footprint are central issues — Mike sees Eco Green Living as a business perfectly positioned to make a meaningful impact.
A Defining Moment for Eco Green Living
Mike’s appointment as Chairman comes at a time of rapid growth for Eco Green Living. With products now stocked at Ocado, QVC, Oddbox, Ethical Superstore, B&Q, and through CLF Distribution into 80+ independent retailers, the business is expanding its retail and international footprint while actively pursuing B Corp certification.
His leadership will play a crucial role in guiding Eco Green Living’s next phase — strengthening our governance, supporting international growth, and ensuring that as we scale, we remain firmly rooted in our mission to eliminate single-use plastic.
