Tim joined GLT as a Professional Volunteer in February 2019 and took up the role of Finance Director in 2021. He is also our Company Secretary. After working in the commercial sector as Finance Director for a private company involved in property development, a restaurant and building a chain of retail outlets across the South West, Tim changed tack and joined a major UK conservation charity on a short-term contract which ended up being a 25-year stint. After various roles he became Head of Finance leading a team of 35 and working closely with senior staff and trustees on a number of strategic initiatives. Tim was also a Trustee of the charity’s defined benefit pension scheme. Tim’s connection with conservation and his personal experience of mental health and wellbeing have now driven him to contribute his time to help Green Light Trust. Tim and his wife completed a personal ambition to complete a self-build house. Now that he has ‘semi-retired', Tim's next ambition is to drive down his golf handicap to single figures!

Hailing from a nursing background originally, Louisa has strong leadership and management skills, gained while working throughout the health and social care for over 30 years. Lou served as a Trustee from March 2016 - March 2023 and now supports employees as a professional volunteer heading our Reflective Practice team of volunteers.
