NW031226 North West winter social

North West: North West winter social Join ISEP North West for an in-person winter social at The Pen and Pencil in Manchester. This event is open to both ISEP members and non-members. Our Winter Social is an opportunity to meet up with fellow environment and sustainability professionals for a relaxed evening of networking. • Do you have that burning sustainability question that you just daren't ask at work? • Do you want the opportunity to get passionate about the environment that your work colleagues just won't understand? We are here for whatever you need, pull up a chair, grab a drink and let's have a chat. No agenda, no rules, just like minded people enjoying free conversation. Host David Hoare PISEP Co-chair, North West Global Network, ISEP David Hoare is a Chartered Environmentalist with over 24 years' experience in environmental consultancy. His experience relates to the environmental assessment and management of a wide range of projects including wind farms, pipelines, major infrastructure projects (motorway, trunk road and local authority road schemes in Wales, England and Scotland), gas storage facilities and mixed-use developments. Sophie West MISEP Committee member, North West Global Network, ISEP Sophie is a Senior Sustainability Consultant at Arup, a Design and Engineering Consultancy, with around 7 years of experience working in sustainability, primarily in the built environment, although recently branching into the rail industry. Her background is in strategy development and execution, focusing on climate change mitigation, behaviour change and transformation and financing sustainability action. In recent years, Sophie has broadened my skills to include climate change adaptation and resilience – pursuing an interest to understand more about how we live with and adapt to the changing climate. Sophie desire to work in sustainability comes from a passion to support those who generally don’t have a voice in society, and to stop cycles of poverty often exacerbated by climate change. This event is hosted by ISEP North West, but we welcome members from other regions to join us as well. Why not connect with ISEP North west on our LinkedIn page.
