Sam is a passionate sustainability expert who collaborates with design teams to develop meaningful metrics and guide environmentally conscious decision-making. I had the pleasure of working alongside him for several years, during which I saw him actively seek out knowledge and build a deep understanding of circularity principles, product repair and refurbishment, and opportunities for material recovery.

He draws on his experience in cost-benefit analysis and lifecycle assessment data to identify the most significant impact areas and build practical, high-value recommendations. Sam is approachable, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator who both inspires and upskills those around him.
