“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Zoe on the Board of the Hinkley Professional Services Group, for which she is the Chair. She has been instrumental in developing the Group and has expanded the membership and reach of the Group, not least via her high profile in the legal and energy sectors. I would highly recommend her for similar Board roles and generally for her undoubted legal expertise.”
“Zoe’s knowledge of project contracts and practical application of them, especially in the nuclear context, is ‘second to none’. She is a valuable member of our manufacturing advisory programme providing expert advice and hand-on support.”
“Zoe has the ability to turn legal jargon into real applicable situations to ensure that the severity of a clause in a contract is explained in your own scenario. It was a pleasure to work with Zoe and can honestly say that we wouldn't have secured our contract in such a timely manner without her help and guidance throughout the process.”
The climate emergency has reached a point where real and substantial damage is being caused to both the planet and society. There has been a shift from planning and theorising the most effective solutions, to a phase where practical, efficient, and sustainable solutions are required at speed.
