Tim joined Viridor in 2019 to drive decarbonisation and circular economy projects and to work with Government and Regulators to help ensure the policy environment supports the right investments and outcomes.

Since 2020, he has also led Viridor’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) work, overseeing the development and implementation of Viridor’s ESG strategy, which sets out a pathway to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040, and climate positivity by 2045.. This ambition continues to guide Viridor’s major initiatives today, including our Carbon Capture project in Runcorn, active participation in the UK Emissions Trading Scheme, and our acquisition of Quantafuel in Norway — a move that strengthens our position in advanced plastics recycling and the circular economy.

Prior to joining Viridor, Tim was the CEO of the Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE), where his work focussed on enabling more energy users to directly benefit from the transition to a low-carbon economy. Tim holds a BSc and PhD in Ecology and also serves as Chair of the ESA Climate Committee.
