“Being a LEAD Fellow is one of my proudest achievements. It has hauled me out of my comfort zone. Provided me with an amazing network and ignited my passion for energy and environmental issues. Most importantly, it has helped me understand how to make a difference and given me the inspiration to actively pursue those ambitions”
Alex Fowler, Energy & Environment Specialist, Regional Development Agency, One North East.
