Richard is a Chemical Engineering graduate of Nottingham University who took nearly 10 years designing, constructing and commissioning chemical plants in the UK and America before deciding that he would really much rather do something more positive for the planet!

He is the founding director of Marches Energy Agency (MEA) the sustainable energy and climate change charity working with communities and organisations in the West Midlands to promote appropriate renewable energy, energy efficiency and clean transport and so create the climate for change. The Agency has been established for some 11 years making it the oldest such organisation in the UK.

Richard endeavours to direct the Agency to be passionate, professional, inclusive and honest; and to inspire, encourage and help others to use and produce energy more sustainably, whilst providing positive, enjoyable and rewarding work and volunteering opportunities. Something that he acknowledges is going to occupy him for a few more years yet.
