David Schofield
David is co-founder of Biome Box and the operational mind behind it. By profession he is a fractional COO: he works with founder-led businesses in the UK and the United States to install the structure, systems and accountability that let good work outlast its founder. He has worked in operations since 2006, holds a degree in business information systems and a master's in business management, and brings the same systems thinking to everything he builds, including this.
His route here runs through more than a decade of community building: a sustainable living project, social enterprises, and a veg box scheme in south Manchester that made fresh, local produce affordable for his neighbourhood. He also co-founded a community martial arts school in Market Harborough, where he still teaches. The conviction behind all of it is the same: healthy people come from healthy households, and healthy households are built on real food, real skills and real community.
That is why Biome Box exists. Food production is the foundation of a healthy society, and growing, cooking and eating well is the most direct way a family can take back ownership of its health. David's job is the structure and strategy that turn that conviction into something practical, repeatable and shareable, so what works on our plot can work on yours.
Alongside Biome Box, David runs Purpose In Action, his operational advisory practice.
