Steve Ross-Smith is the founder of the Worm Research Centre. He has a wealth of environmental and farming experience having run an organic farm since 1986. His many practical skills bring originality and efficiency to all the projects undertaken here at the Centre. He is an innovative thinker and, recognising the enormous gaps in information regarding small scale composting and vermiculture, has been tackling the problem head on. Using his skills in engineering, design and technology (HND Distinctions) many new ideas are now being researched and developed to create workable solutions to the enormous organic waste stream problems faced by small commercial businesses. Please contact us if you think there is something we can help you with. The Centre are the North of England key Compost Doctors working with CRN UK (Community Recycling Network UK) and the CCN (Community Composting Network), to support businesses in improving their environmental resource efficiency.
