Waterman has appointed Dave Allen to take a leading role in the continued growth of the company’s corporate service offerings in due diligence, responsible investment and climate resilience.

Allen brings 20 years’ experience in delivering due diligence projects, carbon management and emission reduction plans, EHS audits, assurance and advice. Drawing on his wealth of knowledge, he has also developed training packages for clients across various industrial and commercial sectors.

Prior to joining Waterman, Allen was an associate director of RSK, leading their environment health and safety (EHS), Compliance and Carbon team. This role saw him manage a wide range of carbon management support projects to help organisations measure and understand their carbon footprint, set emissions reduction targets and comply with reporting requirements, regulations and legislation.

As a passionate advocate for sustainability and climate action, Allen believes success lies in the ability to communicate effectively at all levels of an organisation, inspiring clear and effective action.

Andrew Ferguson, Waterman’s managing director of infrastructure and environment said: “I am delighted to welcome Dave to our Climate Resilience team. Joining us at a pivotal time as we help our clients plot a course to a net zero future, Dave’s depth of expertise and leadership credentials will see him play a central role in delivering vital support for organisations of all types. With his drive and passion for climate action, I’m certain that Dave will be a key figure in our expanding team and I look forward to working with him.”
