About Andy
Keynote
Andy Pag is an engineer and award-winning investigative journalist with a passion for sustainability and a love of big engines. His adventurous spirit has taken him far and wide. He spent twelve years leading vehicle-based expeditions to remote parts of Africa and the Sahara Desert, until he was inspired to change the elements of his life that were unsustainable.
Andy Pag has since experimented with alternative ways of powering his overland journeys. This led to a series of experimental expeditions, including driving around the world in an old school bus that he salvaged from a scrap yard, which was powered by waste cooking oil and turned into a functioning home using reclaimed materials. He has also driven a chocolate-powered lorry to Timbuktu in Mali in the world’s first carbon negative expedition, and organized “Grease to Greece,” a rally for cars fueled on restaurant scraps. Today, Andy Pag is a BBC TV reporter in Northern Ireland, supplying both daily news and hard-hitting investigations.
A thoughtful and entertaining speaker, Andy Pag explores how every environmental eco-adventure he has been on has brought him closer to understanding exactly what sustainability really means, and ever more clues on how to achieve it. He is available for inspirational keynotes, After Dinner or Lunch events, awards evenings, and educational talks. An experienced TV and radio journalist, Andy is also available as a facilitator or host for corporate conferences, seminars and meetings.

After years of searching for sustainable ways to travel, eco-experimenter Andy Pag embarked on a journey so ambitious, it was bound to end in disaster. Strangely, it didn’t. Andy puts the unexpected success of his drive around the world fuelled by used cooking oil down to the enthusiasm of people for helping out a stranger. He shares tales of generosity and friendship and draws surprising conclusions about the power of Community and embracing difference.
