Eddisons at MATPN

Collaborating towards innovation

Director of business development Jenny Fram and head of sustainability and decarbonisation Nazar Soofi will be attending MATPN on Thursday 7th and Friday 8th March, understanding what our MAT leaders are focusing on as part of their decarbonisation goals.

A big goal for us this year is to help more schools and Trusts unlock funding to prioritise sustainability within their estates management strategies. As part of our own strategy, we appointed Nazar as our Head of Sustainability and Decarbonisation.

Nazar has 25 years of experience in delivering huge projects across the globe, and has secured £45million of Salix funding for decarbonisation projects across West Yorkshire as part of his work with Leeds City Council.

As well as meeting MAT leaders with Jenny, Nazar will also be hosting a session on Friday afternoon, helping schools and Trusts realise their ambitions and go through the steps to achieve funding and deliver energy-saving projects in line with the UK’s own Net Zero goals.

Unlocking funding for all: a guide to Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme

In our speaker session, Nazar will show how PSDS can be successfully delivered by breaking down the responsibilities of the clients, consultants, and contractors, underpinned by working together to achieve a shared goal of decarbonisation within the one-year funding deadline.

He will also highlight the challenges of the application process and the critical path activities, such as DNO, planning consent and onsite limitations. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the PSDS process, from application to final commissioning, alongside a knowledge of the pitfalls and opportunities you will face.
