I was formally Group Head of Corporate Responsibility for British Nuclear Fuels Ltd.

My experience covers:

  • Advising FTSE100 companies, professional bodies and trade associations on corporate responsibility and sustainability issues
  • Improving company reporting of non financial performance, including developing BNFL's first Corporate Responsibility Report which won the prestigious ACCA Sustainability Reporting Award for Best First Time Social Report in 2003
  • Developing and improving non financial system including establishing group safety systems for working on high hazard sites and establishing the health, safety and environmental management systems for a newly formed, stand alone subsidiary company
  • Commercial Experience - 5 years in management accountancy and business development. This mix of experience has given him a good oversight of the wide range of organizational issues that can impact on trust.
