He has a wealth of experience in recycling and waste reduction. In his current role he manages a support network for over 150 community led groups across Scotland. He is also a member of the Scottish Liaison Group on Waste and the recently established Scottish Government Zero Waste Think Tank

Prior to this, Iain also worked for Alloa Community Enterprises Ltd, and the Recycling Advisory Group for Scotland (RAGS) and at a number of local authorities in Scotland. He has worked in the recycling sector since 1993.

Iain said: "WRAP has an outstanding reputation in the waste and resources arena. I am excited about joining the team and helping to deliver Scotland’s very ambitious waste reduction and recycling targets.

"Scotland has some very specific challenges in delivering on these targets particularly when we consider resource use throughout the supply chain. But these challenges offer some fantastic opportunities for home grown solutions which will bring real economic benefits to Scotland."
