Green Investing with Entrepreneur Anthony Evans of the WARS Group
If you are thinking about green investing? Consider WARS Group, a company whose mission is to create a truly global brand that is synonymous with sustainability, high-tech, innovation, green and ethical thinking. This week's podcast features Anthony (Tony) Evans with colleagues Winston Higham, Spencer Burnham and commercial partner Roger Fenwick from Mantra Capital.
Build Back Better
The current Conservative government has published their Build Back Better plan. The plan sets out the scale of the ambition for the green industrial revolution and will see the government invest £12 billion with the expectation that the private sector will deliver another £42 billion of investment. This investment will see the creation and support of up to 250,000 green jobs in the economy.
For High Net Worth Investors, looking for an investment in this space, then WARS Group appears to tick the boxes you should consider. Naturally, always do your research, and part of that is to listen to the ambition, skills and logic presented by 3 WARS Group board members and their commercial fundraising partner Mantra Capital's Roger Fenwick.
Anthony Evans - the lynchpin
The person that has brought all the contributors together on this week's podcast is Tony Evans, He exclusively revealed on the show that he is no longer CEO, and that title now rests with Winston Higham. Tony remains as a director and founder.
Winston and Tony have had a tumultuous 6 year relationship. There is real respect there. Not least because Winston has a very strong commercial background, working for Dave Whelan and Mike Ashley. Together they both share a belief about what needs to happen in society.
Spencer only met Tony last summer (2020). Tony wanted to buy some land from Spencer. In the end, Spencer was offered a role in the WARS Group. It escalated very quickly. This is very much the way with Tony Evans. He does not let the grass grow!
We were also joined by Roger Fenwick from Mantra Capital.

Winston Higham - the new CEO and what a past too!
Winston worked 30 years for Dave Whelan ("a smart cookie")and later Mike Ashley. Two great entrepreneurs. Dave Whelan was chairman of Wigan Athletic FC and ran DW Sports and JJB. Winston learnt an awful lot from Dave and brings that knowledge and passion to his new role at the WARS Group. In this next clip Winston says a few words about both Dave Whelan and Mike Ashley.

Winston explained that he was aware of companies with huge numbers of packaging cardboard boxes, just set fire to them. Not good at all for the environment. You can see why he is so committed to getting this part of the WARS Group right. In a commercial company, with responsibility for profit and loss, every penny counts. So, whilst in his previous retail businesses, being ethical had to be baked into their strategy. Because they were competing against others without the same ethical standpoint.
It's not just about recycling, the WARS Group want to help people eat properly. Winston spoke about the frustrations with regard to obesity. They want to help people at source. The goals of WARS Health are:
