Bio
Marie (Mimi) Cassidy
Pooja was recommended to us by Exeter University as a Green Consultant who could help us become more environmentally responsible as a company. We greatly appreciated her timely completion of an impact assessment relating to the carbon footprint of our organisation. She diligently walked us through the use of an assessment tool, creating templates that will help us calculate future carbon emissions and, through recording and analysing our company data, she produced helpful reports and a future environmental improvements plan. Pooja was very positive and encouraging and a great person to work with.

Having worked with Pooja for a few months, I have to say it was a great experience, start to finish! Her smile is infectious and alongside her personality, any team would be lucky to have her! In terms of what she brings to the table, where do I start? Her work ethic is second to none and nothing is EVER too much bother! She 100% has a can-do attitude and is a pleasure to work alongside in every way shape and form! As happy as I was for Pooja when the time came for her to move on to pastures new, it was a great loss to the team, we'd have you back any time!!
