Head of Memberships
I am a qualified solicitor having been a partner in the commercial law firm of Bermans for 35 years. I then became CEO of Professional Liverpool, a membership organisation the aim of which is to represent and promote the Professional and Business Sector of the Liverpool City Region. I stood down after 9 years in that role at the end of March 2020, by which time membership had grown from around 60 to 500 businesses.
I have known Neal for a number of years and when he told me of his “epiphany” and his plans, I was keen to play whatever part I could in this worthwhile cause. Nature and the environment have always been subjects in which I have been keenly interested.
It took all of us a while to realise the damage caused by asbestos. Let’s stop a similar scenario with plastic as soon as we can. I fail to see how anyone cannot be moved to act when looking at pictures or films of the devastating impact of plastic on marine life in particular.
I was delighted when Neal asked me to join the team as Head of Membership and I hope to be able to convince many of the contacts in my “black book” to support Changing Streams in its quest to eradicate plastic at source.
