MEET THE TEAM

CEO

Nicky Green

Rooted to coastal living and with a keen interest in the environment, Nicky has been an integral part of 2 Minute since 2015. As  #2MinuteBeachClean campaign built traction, she took over the station sales, which lead to fundraising, corporate and international relations, campaigns, recruiting the wider team and was instrumental in the transition to charity status.

Nicky lives in Croyde, North Devon, where she’s always on the beach, either beach cleaning, running, supping, dipping whatever the season, or hanging with her husband and 2 daughters. You may also find her singing at an open mic night, but she won’t ever tell you when that will be!

Head of Finance and Operations

Heather Mikes

Heather comes to us with an extensive background in financial management and says she is thrilled to be involved with the 2 Minute initiative. Originally from the midlands, she arrived in the west country in 2003 after a brief stay in the big smoke and now she gets heart palpitations if she ever has to leave the county!

She lives in Kilkhampton with a lovely view of the Cornish countryside and loves nothing more than sitting with a cuppa watching the birds swoop over her conservatory. Heather says “It breaks my heart that we could treat this beautiful planet in such a way, so being involved with the Foundation is my small way of helping to change things for the better”.

She is an advocate of all things local and is old enough (!) to remember a time when buying local was the norm and is excited to see things moving back towards ‘the old days’.

Jodie Harper

Jodie Harper

Jodie has a background in retail and charity work and joined us in 2019. She is now Shop Manager and runs the online shop, and has been instrumental in setting up the Crooklets beach shop, From Trash to Treasure. Jodie moved to Bude with her husband Craig so they could be near to the sea and walk their two dogs on the beach (whilst doing a #2minutebeachclean of course). She loves to SUP (on the rare days that Bude has calm seas), explore around Europe in their motorhome and has helped to set up Bude’s first zero waste ReFill Shop.

Beach School Coordinator

Fiona Boyd

Fiona leads our Early Years and Primary sessions at The 2 Minute Beach School. She is teacher, a Forest School and Outdoor Learning Leader, and a passionate advocate for the natural world. She shares her passion for the oceans and the natural world with all the children and families that she works with and inspires children to connect with and protect the natural environment by educating them about the problems facing our oceans and encouraging them to take action.

In her spare time, Fiona enjoys dog walks at the beach (of course) or in the woods. She also enjoys being in the water, surfing, canoeing, and swimming with her family. In her down time, when she gets the chance, she loves to snuggle up with cup of tea and a good book!

Andy Price

Andy Price

Andy can't surf but when he can tear himself away from his desk in somerset, he does like to walk his dog on the beach. Ideally, towards a bag of fish and chips.

Like many nerds he's generally happier in the background and he's been behind the scenes at 2 Minute from the beginning. He builds and maintains our websites and assists with creative.
