DR AARON YEARDLEY

MEng, PhD

Associate Member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers

senior carbon reduction Scientist

Aaron Yeardley is a Senior Carbon Reduction Engineer at Tunley Engineering. He specialises in carbon management planning and life cycle assessments.

Aaron has always had a passion for Mathematics and enjoys using this passion to help other people.

During his PhD, Aaron collaborated with many Chemical Engineering research students by using machine learning to aid process engineering projects through forecasting, sensitivity analysis and design of experiments. Aaron continues to use these data analytics and software skills to help decarbonise businesses.

It is clear that numbers make Aaron happy, and calculating a baseline value for a project’s greenhouse gas emissions and using innovative methods to decrease that baseline value is extremely exciting. 

NATALIE BAVIS

MSc, PGDE, PhD (pending)

OUR CARBON REDUCTION ASSESSMENTS

THE FINEST TRADITIONS OF BRITISH ENGINEERING

Frank Tunley, Dr Will Beer’s great-grandfather, was a pattern maker for Laycock Engineering in Sheffield. From the 1920s until the 1960s, he worked on a wide range of power transmission and garage equipment products.

Frank was a proud craftsman, and his passion for engineering, precision and improvement continues to inspire us today.

Will and Peter have always been fascinated by engineering and design. For many years, they have repaired and re-built motorcycles and cars in their spare time, and they’re continually looking to create new designs that could improve the world.

Will and Peter’s passion for engineering and their concern for the environment led to the creation of Tunley Engineering. With their deep knowledge and experience in engineering, they saw an opportunity to make a positive impact on the world by helping businesses reduce their carbon emissions. Their vision for a cleaner, more sustainable future inspired them to build a successful carbon reduction business that has since helped numerous clients to achieve their environmental goals.
