Working with Clients

Clarity, simplicity, concision

We are overloaded in the information age. I provide clients with outputs which highlight key issues and findings.

Rigour & wider perspective

I offer rigorous analysis and attention to detail. But I also understand the importance of the bigger picture and cross-checking technical analysis with common sense.

Good upward management

I prioritise well, seek solutions to problems, factor in clients' constraints and seek to close any gap between expressed and perceived requirements.

Flexible support

I understand that clients need an extra hand for small tasks, sometimes a whole project, and sometimes ongoing support. Depending on other commitments, I can offer input over both the short and long term, as flexibly as possible.

Honesty & reliability

I meet agreed deadlines, follow through on commitments, seek to give good value and submit honest, fair estimates of time expenditure. I seek clients who want good quality, thoughtful and truthful examination of the questions of interest to them.

Remote work

I usually work remotely and communicate with clients via phone, email, skype and/or collaborative software, with occasional face-to-face meetings. I am happy to consider projects which need regular physical presence within commuting distance.

Core expertise

My expertise is in climate, energy and water policy and economics. I also have a broad range of experience in environmental regulation, market instruments and environmental finance. However, my skills are transferable and I frequently work on topics outside of environment and climate.

Varied interests

My career has been driven by a desire to contribute to better public policy and I understand how research can support decision-makers in any organisation. I share a broad interest across policy, economics, business, technology and the social and natural sciences. I welcome proposals outside of my core interests.

Fees & contracting

Fees are either on an hourly basis or agreed in advance as a fixed amount. I am happy to write a proposal detailing what I think I can contribute to your project and estimating how much time this would require. I can be engaged as a consultant for a whole project or on an ad hoc basis.
