Background

About Guy Thompson

I am a commercially focused strategic leader, with C-suite experience in the private, public and voluntary sectors. Currently Managing Director of EnTrade, a joint venture between YTL, the largest Malaysian investor in the UK, and Arup, a global leader in engineering and sustainable development. EnTrade is a pioneering environmental market operator, now launching as an independent company, which enables businesses to achieve their environmental goals and empowers landholders to secure fair and efficient deals in a regulated, transparent and high integrity market. Trailblazing a cutting-edge digital platform, EnTrade is simplifying the process for businesses and landholders to trade certified nature-based environmental services, such as nutrient reduction and biodiversity gain, in a fair, transparent, and efficient system. Previously I was Group Sustainability Director for Wessex Water, where I was focused on providing thought leadership on the future of the water industry with policy makers and external stakeholders. Before that, I was Interim Chief Executive and a founding Executive Director of Natural England. I was also Executive Director of Green Alliance, the UK’s leading environmental think tank, and currently sit on several non-executive Boards. Adaptable and passionate about the purpose of organisations that I lead, I am committed to making a difference by accelerating a fair and efficient transition to a Net Zero, nature positive economy.
