Project Leader Biographies: CarbonSense

Antony Turner is the Founder and Managing Director of CarbonSense. He co-authored the report for BT entitled ‘What Would a Genuinely Carbon Neutral BT look like?’ He is particularly proud of organising an event at the UK Treasury in 2005 called ‘Carbon as Currency.’  His career before starting CarbonSense was principally in engineering where he built a successful track-record launching innovative technologies worldwide. In 1999 he helped set up the ‘Business & Sustainability’ courses at Schumacher College, which he managed for five years, and in 2000 he wrote the industry submission on wave and tidal power for the House of Commons Science & Technology Committee. Antony believes most tough questions in life can be answered by asking “what would nature do?"

Peter Martin is a director of CarbonSense. Peter has spent fifteen years engaging people in culture change, organisational development and strategies for sustainability. He is a skilled facilitator and trainer and has an MSc in Environmental Change. He previously worked for the NHS, BP and various consultancies and has been a Fellow at the Office for Public Management and a Visiting Lecturer at several universities. Peter relaxes at the weekends by rock climbing or orienteering.
 

Fraser Durham has a BSc in Economics and Mathematics, and has recently made the transition from finance, where he spent ten years advising global investment funds on derivative and alternative asset transactions, to climate change and sustainability - inspired by developments in sustainable finance whilst travelling in Asia.  Fraser co-ordinates client strategies involving a high technical input, as well as developing the use of film, animation and new media to leverage the communication aspects of climate change and sustainability.  He lives in Totnes where he can develop his passions for rock climbing, surfing, home grown cooking and the Transition Town movement.
