Matthew Lumsden Bio:
Matthew Lumsden's journey into the environmental sector began with a pivotal moment in 1985 after reading a Greenpeace report on acid rain. Deeply concerned about the environment and wildlife, Matthew felt compelled to act. This led him to Newcastle University in 1986, where he initially explored various fields before setting his professional sights on the construction industry. However, his passion for the environment never waned, and in 2000, he transitioned into the renewable and environmental sector. Matthew became part of a team at TNEI, a consultancy business focused on innovative solutions for environmental issues, where he has since been making significant strides in contributing to a greener planet.
