From ESOS compliance to a lower bill.
ESOS programme delivery
Portfolio-wide audit under ESOS Phase 4, run to statutory scope, with a costed action plan ranked by payback and carbon impact. The audit is where the work starts. The action plan, tender and savings tracking that follow are where your bill comes down.
Energy reduction programmes
Tendering and procurement of the opportunities identified, via Energy Performance Contracting or other funding models, managed through to delivery and verified savings.
Reference delivery
Current energy management and reporting clients include the University of Winchester and Equans at Oxford John Radcliffe Hospital. Previously led ESOS delivery for over 80 clients.
Nature
Nature risk your board can act on.
Nature risk and opportunity diagnostic
Board-ready assessment of where nature-related risks and opportunities sit across the portfolio, structured around TNFD's LEAP approach. The output is a prioritised view of exposure and opportunity that a board can act on.
Nature solutions procurement
Tendering and procurement of the nature-related opportunities identified: restoration, biodiversity net gain, carbon credits, natural capital projects.
Nature markets experience
5 years as Head of Operations at Nattergal, including Boothby Wildland: the first Landscape Recovery project to sign a 30-year, £12 million implementation agreement with DEFRA and Natural England. Delivered an industry-first combined TCFD and TNFD report for Nattergal in 2025.
Why one advisor across energy and nature?
Most organisations buy energy advice from one firm and nature expertise from another, then reconcile two views of the same portfolio. I cover both, so the trade-offs are settled before they reach you: a biodiversity net gain commitment that changes the economics of an energy project, or a decarbonisation plan that identifies land for restoration.
This is a fast moving sector. I build AI native tools into how I work to keep pace, which means faster scoping, modelling and reporting, and more time for judgement and interpretation where it counts.
