About Us
Concrete4Change (C4C) is a commercial deep-tech company building one of the most scalable and economically viable CO₂ mineralisation platforms globally.
Our technology converts CO₂ into a high-performance cement additive, delivering cost-neutral or cost-positive decarbonisation for the concrete industry.
We are already operating at pilot scale (~3 tonnes/year) with validated product performance and strong industrial demand.
Next steps
This is a 1000× scale-up.
We are executing this with major industrial partners (Holcim, Goldbeck), active product demand, and clear commercial pathways including offtake, licensing, and strategic partnerships.
We have raised £10M+ to date and are now raising £10M–£15M+ to deliver the demo plant and unlock large-scale commercial rollout.
The Role
This is a capital and commercial delivery role.

Direct engagement with major industrial partners, customers, and investors
High-impact leadership role with real financial and commercial responsibility

Final Note (Read Carefully)
This role is about capital and commercial execution.
If you want
to focus only on reporting and compliance
to support rather than lead fundraising
or to operate in a low-pressure environment
this is not the role.
If you want
raise £10M–£15M+ and beyond
convert relationships into revenue and strategic advantage
structure deals that enable industrial scale
and be accountable for capital, commercial outcomes, and growth
