My name is Alicja Holland (PISEP) and I work in the public sector as Projects & Finance Officer of a mid-size Town Council. This role is fantastic as it allows me to enhance the town and bring all aspects of sustainability into the public forum. Working with many partners in the town, District Councils and forums and boards within the town, I can use ISEP to influence decisions and projects. I also have my own accounting business on the side which means I get to share how sustainability and finance work side by side within other businesses and help others grow their own businesses sustainably. Through this, I also teach accounting and bookkeeping as an associate lecturer for West Suffolk College, as well ISEP courses as an accredited ISEP tutor. Previously, I spent 9 years in the brewing industry and working alongside the Head of Finance and Sustainability and the Sustainability Manager at Adnams PLC which taught me a wealth of knowledge as the leading sustainable brewer in the industry at that time.

I have worked in the sustainability sector for just 9 years, working mainly within further and higher education to improve their environmental credentials. However, I have also worked in different sectors including student recruitment into higher education and teaching English in Japan for three years. I've had a lifelong interest in the natural work and I am lucky to have been able to turn my interest into my career. I'm also passionate advocate of volunteering.
