AlanHeeks

AlanHeeks achieved success in management at Procter and Gamble as an entrepreneur as the cofounder in 1985 of Caradon plc, a major building materials group. He currently leads his consultancy Working Vision.

He is the author of TheNaturalAdvantage (2000). In his book he shows the fruitfulness of a metaphor by which he compares organic approaches at work and in farming. He illustrates the diminishing returns of artificial inputs and champions the much more chaotic but rewarding organic approaches.

Since 1990 he has worked on three land-based social enterprises:

• He owns and manages the 70 acre Hazel Hill Wood near Salisbury.
• He led the creation of The Magdalen Project, an organic farm and educational facility where disadvantaged young adults learn how to apply organic principles to their own lives and work.
• He founded the Rural Renewal Company in 2002 to create an eco-village and education centre in Dorset, the NaturalLivingCentre.
