Amy is a chartered environmentalist, with over 15 years of experience both as a commercial manager within the energy from waste sector and a business advisor in the Green Technologies and Services industry.
With an MSc in Environmental Monitoring, Modelling and Reconstruction, and extensive experience in a consultancy role, she has developed a deep understanding of the technologies that make up the industry and the legislation that affects it.
She also has specialist knowledge of the sector’s supply chain and has spent over a decade developing and managing a range of programmes to support its growth across the North West of England.
Amy leads Green Economy, which has a mission to build a greener, net zero economy, powered by local suppliers. Green Economy improves the competitiveness of the green technologies supply chain, by stimulating demand, addressing the market failures that prevent uptake of low carbon technology and promoting the businesses playing a key role in delivering the UK’s net zero ambition.
She leads a team of specialist advisors who help businesses in the sector to identify barriers to growth, raise their profile and boost sales to fast-track the successful transition to a net zero economy.
As an advocate for the sector, Amy has a key role in engaging and sharing her knowledge with both private stakeholders and public bodies to accelerate the uptake of low carbon tech and help achieve the UK’s target of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
