I spent ten years as a site manager at Summer Isles Salmon, where I learned how marine licensing, water quality and coastal communities really work. Before that, five years as a deckhand and then mate on fisheries survey vessels taught me to read the sea and the weather. In 2012 I founded Broom Bay Seaweed, growing sugar kelp and dulse on longlines in Loch Broom; it now supplies food, cosmetics and fertiliser makers across the UK. Together, that gives me a rare view of seaweed from the water, the regulator's desk and the buyer's side.

Optional. Off by default; only you see your total unless you turn this on.
Because you choose the charity, HMRC could treat a donation as your income. Casual income under £1,000 a year is tax-free. We explain this during sign-up, and you tick to say you've read it.
No. Joining is free, and firms pay nothing to Nestorly. The only money that moves is the firm's donation to your charity.
As much or as little as you like. Set your hours per month, decline any request, or pause your profile.
Only signed-in firms, through the "Request a conversation" button. Your email and phone stay private until you accept.
Every firm is verified and signs a pledge naming your charity and the amount. Check the firm's details before you accept; you choose who you meet. Firms that don't donate are reminded, then banned.
Any. If you know a field inside out, from accountancy to zoology, firms may want to hear from you.
You tick six declarations before each conversation, and every firm agrees six rules with each request. Firms can add their own compliance questions.
If you can't attend, nothing is owed. If a session is cut short, the firm can donate part of the amount with a reason. Firms that never pay are banned.
