    About Pierre Talpe:

    Pierre owns Rainbow, a company who has created a certified biodegradable tree shelter. These shelters are made from wood fibres from UK trees and biodegrade after a few years, meaning that carbon is greatly reduced on schemes that use them as there is no return to remove the shelters. It is also safer for teams as less exposure to high risk environments and they are much nicer to look at than their plastic counterparts.
