I joined Sustainability West Midlands (SWM) in April 2022 after nearly fifteen years working in higher education, local government and as a director for a community energy society. I bring to SWM my skills in research, knowledge transfer and stakeholder engagement, and my knowledge in sustainable energy, and sustainable built environments. My role is to advise and support organisations across the West Midlands and beyond to improve their sustainability practice, and to work towards SWM’s Sustainability Roadmap to 2030. Recently at SWM, I managed a training programme for the LGA to help local authority officers progress Local Retrofit Action Plans, supported the delivery of a climate tech investor event around domestic heat, and carried out research on Smart Local Energy Systems.
