With both a Technical and Business background he specialises in the Buying, Merchandising and Supply Chain functions of non-food retailing. He has successfully completed numerous long term transformation projects for tier 1 retailers, in the UK, USA and China. Before entering the retail industry he had a varied roles including a couple of years within the nuclear industry. Whilst growing up in the late 1960s and 1970s, he was aware of the smog caused be coal mining, open fires and manufacturing, when visiting his grandparents in South Derbyshire. In 2012 he was invited to lead a project in Shanghai, on arrival in China he saw the same pollution he had experienced as a child. When questioning his local contacts about the smog, they responded “this is because we now make the stuff you used to”. That visit inspired him to become active on social media about the Climate Emergency, and in recent years to become politically active and use his experience to challenge perceptions as to what can be changed and how quickly. He joined the Green Party in 2019 and has now been selected as the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for South Leicestershire.
