Dr Crispin W. Hayes, CEnv
Crispin is Principal Consultant at CW Hayes Associates, and is registered as a Chartered Environmentalist. www.eco-consultancy.co.uk
He specialises in facilitating community organisations to become more empowered stakeholders in their surrounding environment. At the core of this work are issues of sustainability; energy use and material resource use. These issues manifest themselves at community level as energy efficiency in homes, creating alternatives to car use, producing food locally, creating a vibrant local economy, and in the waste society produces.
Crispin has a firm underpinning in academic practice for the issues that are to be addressed in this tender; his PhD at University of Strathclyde focussed on the issues of Sustainable Waste Management.
In terms of delivering a competent scoping study as part of a Zero Waste Scotland project, Crispin also has a good record, having carried out a scoping study entitled Selling Carbon to Fund Recycling for Iain Gulland when he was Director at CRNS. Iain said “ this report is excellent, it has given us a sound foundation to discuss the issues with our member organisations, and to make strategic decisions about creating carbon-based funding mechanisms”.
