Poppy is a former counsellor specialising in stakeholder and consultation management, and has a passion for collaborative work. Most recently she designed and led the statutory consultation for the Awel y Môr offshore wind farm project being developed by RWE in Wales, and is currently assisting the team through the examination stage of their Development Consent Order (DCO) application to the UK Planning Inspectorate. She worked in Petition Management through Phases One and 2a of the High Speed Two (HS2) Limited project, assisting the successful and timely deposit of two hybrid Bills through the Houses of Parliament in Westminster. As a qualified counsellor and coach, Poppy ran her own holistic counselling business in Australia and New Zealand and, prior to that, she worked extensively in the performing arts and as a musical entertainer/educator for children. Learning more about her fellow-humans is her jam, and building upon that human connection and rapport with others, always lies at the heart of her work.
