Meet the Smart Comply Team

Small, but mighty.

We’re a seven person team.

So, whilst we may not have the numbers like other compliance schemes, our dedication to our customers means that we can provide professional and personal service.

We know that compliance is complex

That’s why our team are dedicated to keeping you informed.

We pride ourselves at being on the forefront of industry knowledge and expertise.

Doing so means that we can continuously provide the insights you need in order to make informed and research-driven choices.

I bring over 20 years of experience in producer responsibility, having started my career in 2002 and progressed through every layer of the industry. From hands-on data gathering and compliance management to leading scheme operations and procurement across WEEE, batteries, and packaging, I have developed a comprehensive, ground-up understanding of what effective compliance truly requires.

As Managing Director of Smart Comply, I combine my experience with a practical, solutions-focused approach, helping producers navigate complex and evolving regulatory requirements.

A key career highlight was steering trading strategy during the turbulent 2022 PRN market, one of the most challenging periods on record, successfully managing risk and maintaining compliance for producers despite extreme market pressure.

Outside the office, I enjoy cooking, planning my next travel adventure, and exploring new areas of interest through deep research dives.

I joined the team in 2015 where I began to develop an understanding of the producer responsibility regulations and their effects on members.

I manage a number of our scheme accounts, monitor regulatory changes and communicate these with our members, ensuring members stay informed and compliant with existing and upcoming laws.

I am happiest when spending time with my family, friends and when taking long walks with my rescue dog, Goose. I love going to see live music and attending festivals in the summer. I am a regular theatre goer and avid reader. I love to swim in the sea when I can and growing my own vegetables at my allotment.
