GARY STEPHEN KASS

Job Titles:
  • DEPUTY CHIEF SCIENTIST
  • Director

Gilly Slater

Job Titles:
  • Member of the More
  • Planning Manager at Enhance Land
Gilly is Planning Manager at Enhance Land and Planning, a Cornwall-based planning consultancy with sustainable development at its heart. Primarily, Gilly is involved in large-scale residential developments but also has responsibility for renewable energy applications and Lawful Development Certificate applications. Notably, she has recently been involved in some really rewarding projects, including zero-carbon housing developments with more in the pipeline for next year. She holds a BA(Hons) in Town Planning from Newcastle University and gained her MSc in Sustainable Development with Climate Change and Environment from Exeter University. She began her career as an intern at Surfer's Against Sewage (SAS), working within the campaigns team for 18 months. Upon graduating from her MSc, she took up a position as Renewable Energy Consultant for a large environmental consultancy before becoming an Associate Planner with a leading planning and architecture consultancy in 2016. In February 2019, she took the opportunity to move into her current role and hasn't looked back. A couple of years ago, Gilly worked on a project involving the re-opening of Dean Quarry in Cornwall for the extraction of armour stone to be used in the proposed Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon project. Based within a Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ), the project required the preparation of a Large Environmental Statement to support a planning and marine license application and considerations to ensure minimal impact on the MCZ. She was responsible for the preparation of the Planning Statement and Non-Technical Summary, as well as the Introduction, EIA Regulations, Planning Policy and Legislation and Socio-Economic chapters of the Environmental Statement. The day Gilly handed in her notice for her previous job, she was offered an Appeal Inspector position at the Planning Inspectorate, however, the prospect of working on zero-carbon projects was too good to miss. As Gilly says, "The role of an Appeal Inspector does still appeal (pun intended) to me, so in the future I would be keen to take up the role of a non-salaried Inspector, which would allow me to continue my current job and handle appeals as an addition." Furthermore, she is still interested in large-scale renewable energy developments and advising on climate change issues and hopes that both will make it to the forefront of government policy within the next couple of years. Gilly became a Member of the IES as she knew from the beginning of her career that she wanted to become a Chartered Environmentalist. Originally involved in environmental work through SAS, this experience shaped the rest of her academic and professional career and she joined the IES as an Associate in 2014. Upon being accepted as a Full Member of the IES, Gilly began the process of becoming Chartered and attended the CEnv in a Day workshop in October 2018.

Leigh Brewin

Job Titles:
  • Member of the More
  • Fellow / Environmental Management
Leigh became a Full Member of the IES in 2007, achieved Chartered Scientist status in 2011, and was granted Fellowship by the Institution in early 2021, a great milestone in his career. He was attracted to the organisation by the diversity of disciplines covered and the core values of the institution. Leigh is the UK and Ireland Lead for Environmental Services within SYSTRA, with responsibility for developing and managing a wide-ranging environmental services function across the business. Core areas include environment management and assessment, sustainability and climate change, landscape, planning and consents, ecology, water resources, and specialist services such as noise and vibration, air quality, and geo-environmental services. Leigh and his team act as an enabling function for the business across transportation infrastructure, for example, railways, highways, and energy from waste. Leading and managing teams is a passion of Leigh's, and he notes that being people oriented and instilling a culture of mentoring and coaching has brought in fantastic leadership which the company are now complementing with high potential junior resource in each of the core disciplines. A real success is that of referral and recommendation across all disciplines, showing that people follow the right leadership and attitude, something he is very proud of across the whole team. SYSTRA has recruited 34 new hires and counting during lockdown, and therefore a recent challenge has been driving the right culture within the organisation without teams mixing physically. Leigh notes that the adaptability of the team and inclusivity of everyone in terms of making sure integration is at the core of the organisation has been humbling to witness, converting challenges into positive outcomes. Another recent challenge has been in relation to addressing the climate emergency, with the wide-reaching team playing a large part in developing SYSTRA's strategy for sustainable development and supporting the wider business to deliver innovative and environmentally sound design solutions in the transportation sector. Between 2007 and 2010, Leigh led a key piece of innovative applied research consultancy examining the fate and mobility of contaminants in the unsaturated zone for the then Highways Agency. This involved conducting a comprehensive literature review; designing ground investigations to recover undisturbed cores, sediments and surface waters within drainage systems; designing and procuring a laboratory and designing laboratory experiments (batch sorption); and examining the behaviour (leachability, degradation, or immobilisation) of highway contaminants in the unsaturated zone, paying particular attention to trace metals (copper, zinc, arsenic, and cadmium) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (fluoranthene, pyrene and naphthalene). The aim was to further the understanding of the contaminant pathways to underlying aquifer resources associated with the strategic road network in the UK, considering upper and middle chalk, lower greensand and oolitic limestone geologies. The role required regular site survey management for contaminated land ground investigations, supervising drilling teams to deliver on site excellence with special projects including the retrieval of undisturbed cores via rotary drilling (Comacchio Rig), window sampling (Premier Rig), handheld automatic ballast sampling, and block sampling via trial pits. The interpretive report served as an evidence base to the recently updated DMRB Guidance for Road Drainage and the Water Environment standard LA113 released in 2019. Following a degree in Environmental Monitoring, a PG Cert in Research Methods in Science and establishing a firm passion for research, the opportunity arose to undertake a PhD which was a wonderful and very challenging experience. Leigh was self-taught throughout and learnt a whole raft of field, laboratory, data management, and interpretation skills in the areas of plant biotechnology and environmental bio-geo-chemistry. Successful completion led to a role with AECOM (Scott Wilson at the time), which allowed Leigh to build a laboratory for Highways England Research and use it to undertake environmental forensics (treatability) works for Network Rail and industrial clients, and work within the landfill infrastructure construction sector. With a real feel for highways, the next few roles with Jacobs (CH2M at the time) and Kier Highways honed Leigh's multidisciplinary technical and project management skills associated with highway improvement schemes on varying scales and complexity, moving into junior and then middle management. In January 2020, Leigh moved to SYSTRA, traditionally a well-respected rail engineering business, and he is now forging a new Environmental Services division with a team of 50+ specialists by the end of 2020 and continued organic growth planned into 2021 and beyond. His role at SYSTRA allows him to lead and drive forward a ‘signature' team to deliver on the enabling requirements of the design teams within SYSTRA UK and Group.

Nick Corne

Job Titles:
  • Member of the More
  • Is Director of Environment
Nick Corne is Director of Environment and Consenting at NIRAS, with responsibility for oversight of the company's environmental projects across Asia in the offshore market. In this role, Nick is responsible for project delivery, client management, and for a team of environmental consultants based in Taipei, Taiwan. The team works predominantly within the offshore wind sector, with some work on subsea telecommunications cables. Nick cites his most exciting and interesting projects as being those in the wind sector, and is particularly proud of his team's contribution to securing finance for an offshore wind project in Taiwan. Following a master's degree in Coastal Zone Management, Nick began working for a marine aggregate company in their consenting team. At the time, he had been concerned that working for a developer might impact his environmental credentials, however he soon realised that this was not the case! Following this, he began working for an engineering and environmental consultancy, and has gradually gained experience in marine ecology, environmental assessments, project management, and business development. Within these roles, Nick has been involved in some high-profile projects around the world, including 7-star hotels in Dubai, coastal management projects, and offshore wind projects in both Taiwan and the UK. His most memorable project to date has been working on a Scottish offshore wind farm project for which the main opponent was Donald Trump who objected on the grounds of visual impact. The evidence Nick and his team presented contributed to the decision by the Scottish Government in favour of the developer. Of the outcome, Nick notes: "I felt a sense of pride that I was able to contribute to the offshore wind industry and the democratic process of consent." Nick became a member of the IES in 2017, and in 2018 achieved Chartered Environmentalist status. "I felt the IES provided me with an ideal platform to evidence my environmental skills and to keep these updated. This has become even more important with my overseas posting and provided me with a connection to my home market." Prior to his career in environmental consultancy, Nick worked as an English language teacher and greatly enjoyed the teaching process. In the future, he would like to return to teaching in an academic setting at a local university.

Shrirang Bhoot

Job Titles:
  • Member of the More
  • a Full Member
  • Chief Technical Officer at Global Product Compliance Group
Shrirang Bhoot is the Chief Technical Officer at Global Product Compliance Group, working as a consultant to achieve all compliance related requirements for client companies. His primary responsibility is the development and implementation of appropriate procedures to ensure a sustainable chemicals management approach through ensuring adherence to chemical regulations such as EU REACH, K-REACH, and EU BPR. Shrirang is also involved in developing services within various global regulations, as per their respective compliance requirements, requiring thorough study of each regulation and its compliance requirements. His main activities involve performing initial client assessments and analyses in order to suggest regulatory solutions as per their requirements towards sustainable chemicals management, as well as keeping up to date information related to regulatory developments in the field. Shrirang has also been involved in the development of Indian Chemicals (Management and Safety) Rules which are expected to come into force shortly. Shrirang is currently involved in a project to develop a strategy to assess persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity (PBT) of chemicals in the environment, with the help of experimental data generated through collaboration with academic institutes around the globe. To comply with the regulatory requirements in Europe, chemicals must be registered with European authorities, for which it is mandatory to complete PBT assessments for each chemical. Due to a lack of available data for industrial chemicals, it can often be difficult to complete exact PBT assessments. Shrirang therefore initiated a collaboration with academic institutes in Denmark and India to perform the environmental impact assessment necessary and, along with his team, will complete the PBT assessment. He also plans to generate data for selected chemicals, as well as a model for completing environmental impact assessments. Shrirang completed a master's degree in Environmental Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi. Following completion, he joined a not for profit organisation where he was involved in an EU funded project studying various EU regulations and their impact on non-EU suppliers. The organisation additionally worked to generate awareness, and to gauge preparedness, amongst the Indian industry of upcoming challenges related to new environmental regulatory requirements as a part of extended producer responsibility principles. Shrirang was also involved in various other projects related to the Sustainability Industrial Network, for example, studying the entire supply chain of the textile/apparel and leather industries, and was also involved in guiding the industry towards best practices in cleaner technology and waste minimisation techniques to make these supply chain networks more sustainable. Through this experience, Shrirang has gained extensive experience of regulatory compliance requirements, progressing to his current role where he is now guiding the chemical, agro-chemical, and cosmetic industries towards various environmental regulatory compliance requirements across the globe. In the future, Shrirang would like to work towards developing standards for the industry from a sustainable chemical management perspective. These standards would set the tone for the industry in that they would not require any additional compliance requirements as part of regulatory compliance and would form a globally accepted standard by which to define the quality and safety of the products from various chemical industries. He has an additional ambition to work in the field of developing qualitative/quantitative structural activity relationship (QSAR) models for undertaking PBT profiling of chemicals. Shrirang joined the IES as a Full Member in 2020 in order to share learnings with colleagues and to meet like-minded people working in the environmental and sustainable development fields.

Steve Haynes

Job Titles:
  • Member of the More
Steve has been working in archaeology for almost 30 years. He started his professional career as a field archaeologist undertaking the excavation and recording of archaeological features on a Roman Villa site in south London, after which he took responsible for the negotiation of the archaeological projects with developers and advised a number of London Boroughs on archaeological matters. Since 1997 he has been with Arup, firstly working on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (HS1) - where he oversaw the publication of the results of the archaeological excavations - then a vast range of other projects throughout the UK, for an equally wide range of developments. He enjoys the variety of his role, meaning that no two days are the same. On a technical level he undertakes a wide range of projects related activities that range from the production of documentation to checking and peer review, along with managing projects. The range of project types, locations and his interaction with a diversity of professionals - from environmental scientists to engineers - adds to the overall diversity of my role. The East London Line Extension Project, where Steve was Technical Advisor to the Environment Manager, was a particularly rewarding project. It involved undertaking archaeological and built heritage activities at a series of locations along the route of the project in advance of construction, along with a watching brief during construction. All of this had to be carefully integrated with the construction programme and technical standards maintained to the satisfaction of the curators. This was followed by a programme of post fieldwork activities known as post excavation assessment and analysis. The end result of this phase was the production of technical papers for journals and two monographs, one of which dealt with the railway history of the route through the material evidence found and supported by documentary research. There was also the consolidation and production of the project archive for future researchers. Membership of the IES and in particular achieving Chartered status was particularly important to Steve as a mark of professional standing.
