Warwickshire County Council

With forestry colleagues

I spent seven very happy years working for Warwickshire county council, leaving at the end of September 2011.

You will get a sense of the priority areas I worked on for Warwickshire County Council by looking at the Environment & Planning website.

There are also a number of projects and presentations in the sustainable waste management, climate change, environmental management and broader public policy and the environment context, that I was involved in. These include work with Practical Action, and Garden Organic.

My last major piece of work for the council was to lead its work on creativity and innovation, particularly its engagement with social enterprises and ‘staff mutuals’. You will find a copy of an interview with me on this work and a case study of Positive About Young People, the council’s first social enterprise spin- out, in the Municipal Journal of 28 July 2011 below.
