I am Founder and CEO of Circular Economy Wales CIC and Founder of CELYN Ltd.

My Fellow's Report, Circular Wealth Wales, providing recommendations for a Welsh mutual credit system (a form of complementary currency system) was published in 2020.

Following this, I presented my findings to Wales's First Minister, Mark Drakeford, and between April 2020 and April 2021 piloted the system (supported by the Foundational Economy Challenge Fund and Covid-19 Action Fund) now called the 'Celyn' in Wales. During this time, I became Wales's first Global Acumen Fellow 2020. I co-wrote the business plan with Malcolm Hayday CBE, Founder CEO of Charity Bank UK, drawing key learnings from the pilot. The plan has now been given a clean bill of health by Giles Thornley, CEO of the Wales Development Bank.

I have had a long involvement in the circular economy, helping design and develop Wales's first zero waste village in 2007 to 2008. In 2012, in my own community, I was a founder and Chair of Minera Community Ltd, leading a successful community share scheme to reopen a community pub and restaurant.
