After over 30 years of working in the rural and environmental sector, publishing over 130 letters in The Times, interviewing public figures, chairing/moderating/curating debates, I’m continually adapting my Countryside Reconciliation and Environmental Dialogue Broker role into new spaces.
Looking further into the environmental horizon, I’m seeking to help create space for better conversations to enable us to move into new collaborative arenas. See some examples here.
Please explore my website, dive into some blogs and vlogs, see my backstory and contact me to see what I can do for you. Nothing is off-limits, as we explore fresh new creativity to jump over fences to discover brave new environmental pastures and visions.
p.s. I am also a practicing rural chartered surveyor.
Here’s my backstory and from a previous gig, a very brief bio here
“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity”
