Q

As Head of Business Development, what does your job entail?

A

Very simply put, my role involves managing the land acquisition process from ‘Heads of Terms’ agreements to signing an ‘Option & Lease’. I oversee the land acquisition process, providing support to the Business Development Team in securing the land for various technologies.

Q

How does your passion for renewable energy translate to your day-to-day role?

A

We have a diligent and thorough approach to securing land and managing our most important stakeholder - the landowner - is crucial to our success as a business. The thing I love the most about working as part of our wider team, is that sense of close-knit collaboration with our grid, engineering, planning and finance colleagues to ensure that all projects taken forward have the best possible outcome for our landowners & partners.

Q

How do you think your personality adds to the team?

A

I bring a positive, fun and ‘can do’ approach to the team and thoroughly enjoy working as part of a wider team of professionals working towards our collective net-zero future, and towards Queequeg’s long-term business goals.
