Bio
Nigel Hargreaves PhD CEng
Mark has been a dedicated and enthusiastic member of the team since he began volunteering for Norwich Community Solar 2 years ago. He is becoming highly knowledgeable in many aspects of community energy and renewables through his role as project assistant, and is always willing to learn on the job and adapt to the challenges of a project. I would thoroughly recommend Mark for a future in this sector.

Dec 2017 - Jul 2019
Involved in routine Parish matters, such as reviewing planning applications or dealing with resident's issues. I am also committed to improving sustainability and encouraging environmentally conscious development. I lead a working group responsible for installing solar panels on the local community centre, which involves engagement with councillors, non-profits, business owners and shareholders. Another working group I am engaged with is collaborating with housing developers to offer appropriate, sustainable, and community minded green space amenities for future residents (i.e. community orchards), on a holistic, Parish-wide level.I was responsible for organising and assisting in an energy audit, and for actioning the points raised, which saw savings made in the way that the community centre purchased it's electricity.

Mentoring opportunities have also allowed me to develop my communication and people skills further.
