Born in Egypt and raised in the picturesque countryside of Wales, Natalie was once told by her schoolteacher that she possessed, 'extremely strong opinions on environmental issues', and it wasn't long before she picked up her first award for sustainability aged just 13. Clearly, she was always destined for a green future and so after gaining an MSc in Environmental Management, she moved into the construction industry, working for brands such as Berkeley Homes ' one of the UK's leading sustainable homebuilders. Now a Practitioner Member of IEMA and a qualified BREEAM Site Sustainability Manager, Natalie moved to ExCeL in early 2022 where she's one of just a handful of UK event venues with a dedicated resource in this area.
