About Our Maxgroup Green SIM Card Concept
Geoff Baker and Ilya Bennett as the two Executive Directors of Maxgroup, are committed to
businesses which use, develop and ”grow” technology and thereby add intrinsic value to
solving problems of climate change, deforestation, conservation and agriculture including
reinvigorating denuded soils. We apply new thinking to solve problems in new ways.
That Green Sim is the unique combination of new thinking, technology, with technical &
business skills Maxgroup brings together. Our core strength is the quality of the people &
the quality and years of relationships with them. Our capacity and capability, with them,
builds teams which convert complex ideas into simple, practical and manageable business
plans for which Maxgroup has strong skills, contacts and common values.
Both Ilya and Geoff are interested in Carbon Markets and monetising Conservation and
have invested in businesses, supported NGOs and developed close relationships which
have increased knowledge of the Carbon Compliance Market and Voluntary Carbon
Markets.
Maxgroup also invested to develop, Agricultural initiatives and Food Security initiatives.
Investments and Teams are developing Projects in Africa, China, South America,
Malaysia ,Sri Lanka and Australia.
The Concept includes incubating ideas and growing needed and profitable technology
which is environmentally friendly, in a manageable way which can succeed and then
scaling up with teams.
In the above category of projects, with considerable and long term experience and tried
and tested relationships, successful Pilot Projects can then be scaled up, like planting the
healthy growing Green Sim Card offshoots outside of the pot plant into the renewed vitality
of fertile ground, allowing new plants to grow and projects to expand .
New thinking under-pins Maxgroup strength to solve problems created by others.
