After graduating from the University of Chester with a BSc (Hons) in Geography and Natural Hazard Management, I joined Environet UK in 2013, initially working hands-on to remove Japanese knotweed and other invasive plants from residential and commercial sites. From day one, I embraced the challenge of the role, and over the years, I have progressed to my current position as Director of Technical and Finance.
I now oversee the Technical and Finance departments at Environet, ensuring the company continues to grow and deliver industry-leading solutions for invasive plant management. A significant aspect of my role involves acting as an Expert Witness in Japanese knotweed-related legal cases, where I provide specialist reports and testimony for misrepresentation, negligence, and encroachment disputes. I regularly take instructions from solicitors and case management companies, working for both claimants and defendants, as well as on a single joint expert basis. My expertise includes preparing Pre-Litigation and CPR Part 35 Reports and providing court testimony when required.
With extensive experience in the assessment, control, and remediation of Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant species, I have worked on projects ranging from small residential gardens to large-scale public and privately owned land where removal costs run into the hundreds of thousands. I also deliver seminars and webinars to property professionals and solicitors, helping to educate the industry on best practices for managing invasive plants in the UK
