Growing up in the Lake District, I developed a deep appreciation for the natural world, particularly the rivers that weave through its landscapes. These waterways are vital ecosystems and have always inspired my commitment to environmental stewardship. This early connection to nature set the foundation for my career in the environmental sector, where I have dedicated over two decades to promoting sustainable practices and preserving our natural resources.
As a qualified management accountant, I bring a strategic and financial perspective to environmental initiatives. My passion lies in collaborating with social enterprises that strive to make a positive impact. This drive led me to my current role as Managing Director of the River Stewardship Company, the parent company of Riverlution. In this capacity, I oversee operations that aim to enhance and maintain healthy waterways, ensuring they continue to benefit both communities and wildlife.
At Riverlution, I serve as the Finance Director, where I apply my financial expertise to support the organization’s mission of community engagement and environmental education. Working alongside a dedicated team, I am committed to fostering initiatives that connect people with their local rivers, promote conservation efforts, and empower individuals to contribute to the health and vitality of our waterways.
