NATSOL - Key Persons
Andrew is one of our IT people. He created and looks after the database and the links between that and other parts of our IT system such as stock control.
He is a keen Welsh learner and organises Clwb Siarad, the Friday evening conversation group in Llanidloes. Andy Warren is also a Welsh learner and we do manage a bit of Welsh in the office from time to time!
Andy was one of the two founder directors of NatSol back in 2005. He has a first in Physics from Imperial College and has worked in ecological design and construction since the late eighties. This has included advising on energy conservation, with a particular interest in energy efficient refurbishment. He has been designing, building and using compost toilets since 1993. NatSol evolved from this work. His innovative urine separation system was a major advance that solves a number of problems with other urine separating approaches. Andy brings his scientific training and interest to the biology and ecology of composting. He is also a qualified psychotherapist with a private practice..

He is Technical Director of the Passivhaus Trust. Trained as a design engineer, Nick has been interested in compost toilets since the early 80s.
