This occasional newsletter highlights events and stories about innovation in sustainable development for rural, remote and island regions. We want to change the discourse to demonstrate how islandness can be a driver for innovation.
About Ben Tustin
Ben left the offshore finance sector after 20 years and set up Guernsey Seaweed to produce seaweed fertiliser. This part of the business was put on hold in 2020 due to the pandemic, however he then went on to create the world’s first seaweed hand sanitiser and distributed it to every clinical setting in Guernsey. In the last 2 years the company has branched out into lines of skincare products and has also created The Seaweed Food Company which supplies retail and restaurants with a wide range of products.
