Meet Yorke: Nurturing Nature, Nurturing Business

Yorke is instrumental in connecting with architects and interior designers and generating leads for major construction projects. In an industry that requires persistence and strategic thinking, Yorke has a unique ability to navigate through multiple layers of decision-makers, turning initial interest into contracts.

Our biophilic design expertise truly shines when integrated early in a project. By focusing on securing early-stage specifications, Yorke makes sure that we are positioned to succeed right from the start.

With a keen focus on the hospitality sector, Yorke builds strong connections with leading hotel chains, ensuring that Leaflike is well-positioned with design and development teams for new hotel openings and renovations across Europe. By nurturing these relationships, he reinforces Leaflike’s reputation as a trusted partner in biophilic design for high-profile initiatives.

Yorke’s involvement in a prestigious London luxury hotel project stands out as a key achievement. The architect, who had once compared integrating biophilic elements into large-scale projects to “pushing a rock uphill”, experienced a shift after partnering with Leaflike. Our seamless approach to design, installation, and maintenance eased the process and set the foundation for a lasting partnership with promising opportunities for future collaborations.

What makes Yorke so effective is his approachable and personable nature. He combines this warmth with relentless drive and determination, ensuring that our biophilic designs remain top of mind during the planning process. Thanks to his efforts, Leaflike is consistently considered for current and future projects.

Yorke also organises Continuing Professional Development (CPD) workshops for architects and designers. These workshops provide hands-on experience highlighting the many benefits of biophilic design. These sessions receive excellent feedback, further strengthening Leaflike’s reputation in the industry. Click here to learn more

Outside of work, Yorke’s passion for the outdoors and fitness mirrors his approach to business development. Whether hiking in Snowdonia or climbing in the Lake District, he enjoys pushing his limits. He sees a clear parallel between his outdoor pursuits and professional life – both require determination, persistence, and sustained effort to achieve meaningful results. Just as in fitness, Yorke knows that with business development, the rewards come through consistency and hard work and that now and then, those efforts lead to significant wins.
