Green Gown Awards 2013 - Sustainability Champion Award - Clive Wilson - Finalist

Clive Wilson, Director of Estates and Facilities, University of Bradford

Clive Wilson is both a leader and engager in equal measure. As a leader Clive initiated Ecoversity, one of the first full institution sustainability programmes in our sector. He then delivered a major part of it; always keeping the agenda fresh and relevant to the University Senior Management Team.

Within Estates Clive engages staff with passion, innovation and belief in sustainability, not with a ‘top down’ but an ‘all together’ approach. Cultivating ONE successful team delivering all aspects of sustainability across the Estate.

Clive’s role has been as pathfinder for the institutions values, strategies and ethos. Initially sowing the seeds for Ecoversity, the programme going on to revolutionise the curriculum, campus, community and culture of the university. Moving forward, Clive has pushed the boundaries: multiple BREEAM outstanding buildings, world’s greenest student residences and associated engagement programme, major carbon reductions and more recently sustainable off-grid infrastructure leading to business continuity.
