Grant is a social entrepreneur, localism practitioner and sustainable communities consultant. He is a Founding Director of Datblygiadau Egni Gwledig (DEG), who has helped over 40 community groups start energy projects and a Director of Community Energy Wales, YnNi Teg and YnNi Llyn.

He is a truly inspirational and passionate advocate of sustainability and community energy in Wales. He works closely with local, rural communities who want to own their own energy generation technologies and is a real champion for organisations that lack the resources, skills or confidence to drive their sustainability projects forward.  It is clear to see he gets a real kick out of helping people achieve their sustainability goals.  He is a big advocate of encouraging fairness and equality in the workplace – and in life in general.

Grant is a real driver for change and is relentless in his sustainability campaigning.
