Mark Entwistle

Founder & Chairman

Meet Mark Entwistle, Founder and Chairman of KaarbonTech - and the original driving force behind its creation back in 2012.

Building Something That Works
Mark’s vision at the start was simple: build a company that delivered real value. But it didn’t take long for that ambition to grow. As the business developed, so did its purpose; to show how data could support better decisions and deliver long-term environmental impact.

A Background in Delivery
With over 20 years of experience managing large-scale contracts in the local government and utilities sector, Mark brings a blend of frontline understanding and big-picture thinking. He stays close to the team and the technology, helping shape product direction and ensuring KaarbonTech remains aligned to the needs of the sector.

From Challenge to Credibility
Mark knows the realities of working in an industry where funding is stretched, and future planning is difficult. Convincing others to invest in innovation that supports long-term change isn’t always easy. But milestone moments; from supporting over 70 local authorities, to the use of KaarbonTech’s software by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew - shows how far the company has come.

Looking to the Future
Mark remains focused on helping the industry evolve. He’s passionate about creating scalable solutions that can be adopted across the country, turning successful projects into widespread change and value.

Powered by Adrenaline
Outside of work, Mark keeps his energy high by taking part in the UK Jet Surfing Championships, racing internationally as part of the UK team. He’s always up for a challenge - preferably one that gets the heart racing without breaking anything in the process.

In Mark’s Words:

“You start with an idea — but when that idea gains momentum and starts to change how an industry works, that’s when you know you’ve built something worth continuing.”

Eliminate Risk. Enable Action.
