May 2006 - Sep 2013
NNFCC is an international consultancy company which works in all aspects of the bioeconomy. Working from the UK but operating globally to help develop policy, strategy and commercial platforms for renewables. I head the materials sector at the NNFCC responsible for bio-derived polymers, composites, fibres and wastes including renewable construction materials. I am responsible for identifying, developing and helping to commercialise market opportunities in the materials markets. Another important part of my remit is the interaction of renewable materials at the end of life, and how these materials can be exploited in recycling and recovery operations, which includes the measurement of bio-based carbon and translation of its importance to the whole of supply chain, as well as advising policy makers and standardisation bodies. My work now includes identifying suitable technologies requiring financing. The investment platform portfolio of projects is from early stage to advanced project status. Show less
