About Us

Raquel Noboa has worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years, holding several managerial positions before discovering her passion for sustainability. In 2012, as Green Manager at Hotel Doolin in the west of Ireland, she spearheaded a sustainability programme that led to the hotel becoming the first carbon-neutral hotel in Ireland. Inspired by this success, Raquel founded Fifty Shades Greener to share her knowledge with businesses worldwide. 

Supporting learners every step of the way is Isabel O'Brien, our dedicated Trainer & Learner Support specialist. With a Master’s in Economics and a strong passion for sustainability, Isabel ensures a smooth learning experience by handling questions, grading, and day-to-day course support.

 

James Gleeson - Press Up Hospitality

Raquel and her team have provided invaluable support in helping us reduce our energy and waste consumption throughout our group. Their expertise and dedication have truly made a difference, and we're grateful for their partnership in making our operations more environmentally friendly. Highly recommend their services to any business committed to going green"
