Blue Patch - Expert Impact

Jane Langley,

Blue Patch

Met with Anne MacCaig

Blue Patch is a curated showcase full of hand-crafted furniture, organic beauty products, freshly harvested foods and ethical services providers. All items are sustainably produced in the British Isles and help support local economies.

A circular business model, Blue Patch invests 100% of its surplus income in renewable energy and supporting the green economy nationwide.

Founder Jane Langley first started to become concerned about the environment after hearing a talk on climate change titled ‘Hot, Flat and Crowded’ by Thomas Friedman.

Anne gave me brilliant advice – clear and to the point – which I will be following immediately.
