International environmental consultancy Eunomia has continued its rapid expansion by recruiting five new consultants, including two in its Bristol headquarters.
Rebecca Burgess, pictured top, has joined as a senior project manager having led a team of seven at Macmillan Cancer Support, where she secured more than £4m a year through a variety of projects and partnerships.
Cally Barnes, pictured below, who was a procurement officer with Poole Borough Council, is now an environmental services procurement consultant with Eunomia.
The new arrivals also include industry veteran Duncan Oswald, who joins as a senior consultant in Scotland. Duncan has 25 years’ experience in the industry and is now part of Eunomia’s growing resource efficiency team.
Its London office has also welcomed recent graduates Leyla Lugal and Iona Horton as trainee consultants.
Eunomia, which was founded in Bristol in 2001 and now works across the world, employs more than 70 people in Bristol and its satellite offices in London, Manchester and Glasgow. It also has bases in Brussels, Copenhagen, Auckland and New York.
Its areas of expertise range from waste and resources policy, waste operations, sustainable business and the circular economy, air quality, water quality, marine plastics and the natural economy.
Duncan Oswald previously managed Ecodyn, which he founded in 2000. He has extensive experience across Scotland, having delivered projects for public and private sector clients such as Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Zero Waste Scotland, the Scottish Government and local government, as well as leading companies including Highland Spring, Gates Power Transmission, 2Sisters, Marine Harvest, DS Smith, Sandvik and more.
In his work for Envirowise, Action Energy and the Carbon Trust, he carried out several hundred resource and energy efficiency assessments in a range of sectors including chemicals and pharmaceuticals, metals, engineering and construction.
Renewable energy is also part of Duncan’s portfolio – his design, installation, integration and build of a wind turbine now providing electricity for a new community centre, homes and electric vehicles on the island of Harris has just won Scottish Renewables’ Best Community Project of the Year.
Duncan said: “It’s an exciting time to join an ambitious consultancy like Eunomia, and I’m looking forward to adding my skills to the talented team and developing work in Scotland and beyond.”
Eunomia head of resource efficiency Mark Hilton added: “We’re delighted to have Duncan’s extensive and very practical resource efficiency and energy experience on board to help our clients globally, and of course in Scotland, which is demonstrating real leadership in resource efficiency and circular economy.
“We are witnessing growing demand for consultancy advice at a time when forward-thinking businesses and governments prepare to transition towards a low-carbon, resource efficient future.”
