Mike Whelan - Creative Director, Revolve

Our mission is to demonstrate sustainable transport & services in action

About the People

Mike spent much of his early youth in Africa - often helping his father make cars & motorcycles go quickly round a track - and dreamed of one day becoming a car designer. Now living in London, he prefers the speed of the bicycle through the city streets. He has a degree in Ecological Design from Goldsmiths University and has implemented environmental management strategies for the likes of the National Consumer Council.

Mike is the developer and editor-in-chief of eco-rally.org, an advisor to Green Car Design and an RSA assessor for the annual European Business Awards for the Environment. He believes that together we can design, encourage and support a better way of getting from A to Z.
