I am a long-term resident of Rusholme, Manchester with an abiding interest in the environment and two rapidly growing girls. We fully retrofitted our house in 2014 with extensive support from Carbon Coop. Since then we’ve seen reductions of c40% in both gas and electricity. Not bad for a busy family home where nobody likes to be chilly! We’re committed to continually improving on this, and have subsequently sought to improve our house’s performance further as well as getting rid of our car.
By day I work in public finance – auditing and advising a variety of public sector bodies. I bring financial skills to the Carbon Coop committee, along with an understanding of public policy and governance. I am by no means an expert in energy systems or activism but I enjoying learning and helping where I can to make the Coop as effective as it can be.
