Clare will expand on her current regional role to become a national figure head, managing the development and delivery of a totally integrated sustainability support package across all WYG service areas.

With sustainability a key Government priority, the new role will present Clare with a varied and exciting work load. Commenting on her responsibilities, she said: “As a company we have an enviable track record in sustainable development from renewable energy and energy conservation, through to social and economic development, social protection, Corporate Social Responsibility reporting, sustainability appraisal and strategy, life cycle analysis and whole life costing. Apart from working with clients and partners to develop more innovative ways of delivering more sustainable projects, my primary task will be to represent and further develop White Young Green’s extensive capability.”

Doug Ford, Managing Director of WYG’s environmental business is fully behind Clare’s new role, reflecting Group Board and Plc’s firm ambitions in this field.
