Gareth has 25 years of experience developing and delivering energy, climate & net zero strategies for:

-Multinationals, e.g. Sainsbury’s, Shell, Airbus, CBRE, Balfour Beatty.

-SMEs, e.g. in the hospitality and manufacturing sectors.

-Public sector organisations, e.g. the NHS and local authorities.

-Third sector organisations, such as Business Improvement Districts and NGOs.

Gareth is a Chartered Engineer, an ESOS lead Assessor and a Chartered Energy Manager. He is also a Certified Passivhaus consultant and ‘walks the talk’ in that he is currently undertaking an EnerPHit (Passivhaus version of retrofit) at home.

Gareth has the ability to span energy and climate conversation across many varied audiences, for example having worked on strategy in Shell's Group Climate team in the Hague, and with the Head of Energy for Sainsbury's. His strategy and organisational change work is informed by his MSc in Management from the University of Bath, which led into a PhD examining the design and operation of Carbon Markets, and later to a Prize Fellowship in Sustainability within the School of Management.

His early career experience in manufacturing and engineering built a good grounding in lean and six sigma methodologies. During this time he worked within and developed 9,001 systems as a route to the operational excellence which enables energy and GHG savings. He later built on this experience as the 'Head of Compliance and Sustainability' for a large NHS Foundation Trust, working within the Estates Leadership team. In this role he managed a £3m energy, water and waste budget and used his work on the steam boilerhouse and CHP to successfully apply for CEng and CEM status with the Energy Institute. More recently, Gareth has become a certified Passivhaus Consultant, working on the certification of large scale newbuild and retrofit projects in the domestic and commercial sectors.

Over the past ten years Gareth has used his experience to develop and deliver standard cohort and bespoke in-house training on energy management, energy procurement and the climate / net zero transition for the Energy Institute, The Institute of Sustainability & Environmental Professionals (ISEP), and Make UK- the trade association for UK manufacturing.

Gareth is happy in the boardroom, the design office, the plant room, and on the shop floor. He enjoys connecting these contexts and his passion is in developing a case for change that can be appreciated by the finance director, but which is also credible and passes muster with the chief engineer and the operational teams.
