I have been Western Gateway’s Senior Transport Officer since the summer of ‘23, having become a transport officer accidentally in 2007. I’ve previously worked at Cotswold District Council, Somerset County Council and Sustrans, so now I only need to work in national government to call a full house in Organisational Bingo. While I work across the full range of transport modes at Western Gateway, my background and interests are in sustainability and environmental protection, so I’m much less grumpy when working on active travel, public transport and decarbonisation strategies. Outside of work, I like to go on adventures with my two excellent children, ideally involving maps, bicycles, pubs, cream teas and either tents or (hypocritically) our campervan.
