Our team has formed to do what we can to use our areas of knowledge and expertise to contribute to making the world a better place for generations to come.
We’re community focused, inclusive, proactive, friendly and positive.
Emma
Emma has worked most of her career in the construction industry. She is Managing Director for Story Contracting’s Construction division and Chairs Cumbria LEPs Construction sector panel. She is also interested in local economic development; she Chairs Carlisle’s Town Deal Board and is on the Borderlands Economic Forum. She is energetic, passionate and full of ideas (too many ideas!). She also gets things done. And she cares deeply about sustainability and being a force for good.
Gary
Gary is a painter and decorator by trade and loves to reuse unwanted materials as much as possible. He is liked by everyone, cares a lot about making a difference and is almost always late to meetings. He’s on time when the kettle is on though. Gary was frustrated by the amount of reusable materials being wasted in the construction industry and wanted to do something about it. He goes above and beyond to help people and he is the most likely to be seen in our social media posts.
Maisie
Maisie loves spreadsheets and to do lists and is utterly content that she gets to use both extensively working with Rebuild. She sings loudly, cooks ‘creatively’ and gardens enthusiastically. At the weekend you can find her up a hill, tending her beehives or masterplanning the next adventure. Maisie has managed an extensive range of projects for third sector organisations both in her home county of Cumbria as well as further afield in London, Devon, Nigeria and Tanzania. She is determined to leave the world a better place than when she entered it. Her current plan to do this includes copious amounts of tea.
Debbie
Debbie is somewhat of a Circular Economy geek. This is fuelled by the belief that creating a CircularEconomy is part of the solution to get us humans out of the mess we have made, and are continuing to make, of the planet. We have spent too long chasing profits at all costs, losing sight of how crucial it is to equally balance profit, people and the planet. However, she has faith (most of the time) that we can work together to make a difference and turn things around.
Debbie spent a good proportion of her career in marketing and business development. Her interest in sustainability and more recently the circular economy began whilst working in the built environment sector, culminating in undertaking a PG Cert in Innovation, Enterprise and the Circular Economy. Increasing involvement with the CE agenda over a number of years through work and being co-organiser of the local chapter of the Circular Economy Club resulted in Debbie establishing Cirklo Consult to focus on circular economy related training, education and advisory projects. In addition to The Rebuild Site, Cirklo project work and involvement with a number of circular economy working groups, Debbie now also works part time with EnTRESS at the University of Wolverhampton supporting SMEs to adopt sustainable, circular strategies.
Mark
Mark is our Non-exec Director and chief critical friend. He is currently seconded as Head of Strategy and Policy for Cumbria LEP, and brings a wealth of experience from a distinguished Cumbrian career working for both Sellafield and more recently with BAE Systems. Mark is a down to earth Barrovian who runs on default positive, seeing the best in people and supporting everyone to reach their potential. He is on his second round of Wainwright bagging, this time with his dog Woody.
OUR ETHOS
Our vision is to contribute proactively and practically to the creation of a genuinely sustainable construction industry, one that generates zero avoidable waste and zero pollution, and delivers social, environmental and biodiversity net gain.
We are enabling, inclusive, proactive and sustainable.
