With 20 years of experience in the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) space, I’ve been privileged to work at every scale of business across a range of sectors. Whether organisations are seeking the recognition of certifications or the support of an embedded ESG Consultant, I provide these services to clients, micro or enterprise, local or global. Due to my unique experience, I’m able to bring support, structure and insights to businesses, without being frightened to roll my sleeves up and “just get the job done”.

In the last couple of years, I’ve supported businesses with their Quality Management processes, helping clients gain contracts with the MoD, NHS and a range of multi-nationals. I’m supporting a global engineering firm with global project assurance (governance and sustainability), working with major world-renowned clients in the USA, the Middle East, Central America, and Asia. Clients are now asking me to support their ESG requirements, supporting them to develop European strategy, set up their own in-house ESG functions, including controlling risks, developing change programmes, mentoring and developing team members and future leaders.

Who I work with is based on my personal values of working with clients that have a shared vision of working for a more equitable and sustainable future.

Away from the day job, I’m also a director of the Forest Economic Partnership, leading on Climate Change and Net Zero, a role that allows me to give back and support my local area with my skills and knowledge, working to deliver a Net Zero District.
