Simon Pyne

Net-Zero Carbon Consultant

Bachelors degrees in Environmental Science and Chemistry

Simon is MYA’s lead consultant on Net Zero and sustainability, supporting our clients in developing long-term, high-impact carbon reduction strategies. He is also the founder of Greener Energy Futures, a consultancy that has helped public and private sector clients secure over £4 million in decarbonisation funding and implement hundreds of tonnes’ worth of carbon savings.

With academic degrees in Environmental Science and Chemistry, and nearly a decade in energy-sector sales management, Simon combines commercial experience with deep technical knowledge of renewable energy, building decarbonisation and net-zero compliance.

At MYA, he brings a strategic and scientific lens to catering and facilities projects, ensuring that energy planning, regulatory alignment and sustainability goals are embedded from day one. He also supports bid writing and funding applications, helping clients unlock investment and measurable impact.

When he’s not mapping low-carbon futures, Simon is either running half-marathons, brushing up on his Esperanto, or immersing himself in the world of collaborative storytelling through role-playing games.

  • We recently worked with the team at MYA on a bid for a tender for multiple catering sites. Their proactive, innovative and dynamic approach to the task was a breath of fresh air, and we were able to work systematically through a complex set of designs with an abundance of creativity and design options to consider. Throughout the whole process, the team at MYA were fully engaged and, above all, great fun to work with. I will definitely be working with the team again on future projects and would highly recommend them as design consultants.

  • We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with MYA on the City of London School for Girls project at the Barbican, London. One of the standout aspects of MYA’s involvement was their swift, detailed, and highly effective coordination of design elements. MYA’s proactive approach, attention to detail, and dedication to achieving design harmony made them an invaluable partner in this project. Their ability to strategically align diverse design aspects contributed significantly to the success of the collaboration, reinforcing the importance of well-integrated teamwork in delivering high-quality solutions.

  • The team, led by Carla McKenzie, were meticulous in every detail. They modelled the cleaning requirements to deliver the optimum solution for the facilities across EMEA, and really took time to understand the culture of our business. I have no hesitation in recommending MYA and its team – they are dedicated and innovative, and always go the extra mile.

  • Carla and her team have broad experience in the industry. Apart from being very supportive in inventing (new) concepts, they also make use of their many years of experience when implementing these concepts. Their ultimate goal is to let people enjoy honest and good food.

  • Carla and her team worked tirelessly with us to ensure our very international and cross-cultural needs were met with great creativity and skill. They listened to us, responded to our needs and delivered above expectations.

  • They are brave enough to challenge others in pursuit of the ultimate solution, whether it be behind the scenes with kitchen flow and catering management, or front-of-house service and design.

  • If all companies who serve the independent school sector had your breadth of vision and openness of mind, I have little doubt that the sector would be a richer and more exciting place to be.

  • During the negotiation process, Carla’s knowledge and expertise enabled our company to achieve a very strong commercial outcome, and some significant savings were yielded from the exercise.
