Professionally Lisa works as a Trading Standards Officer and is team leader of the only dedicated team in the UK to tackle excessive packaging of consumer goods and thus bringing about hige benefits to the environment. her passion and willingness to go the extra mile has led to her advising Government on waste strategy and sharing her skills and knowledge around teh country with colleagues as well as giving up her time talking to community groups to empower those she speaks to. Lisa ran the London Marathon in April but collapsed at mile 24 in the heat. After 1h 30m in a St Johns Ambulance tent Lisa decided she wasnt defeated, got up and made it accross the winning line totally inspiring our children to turn off the playstation and start running. Lisa is an inspiration to all she meets and nobody deserves to carry the torch more than her.
