Director, Conservative Environment Network
Sam is the Director of the Conservative Environment Network, an independent forum for conservatives that support net zero, nature restoration, and resource security. CEN works with a caucus of dozens of conservative parliamentarians and hundreds of councillors to
champion ambitious, market-led environmental policies. Sam joined CEN in 2019, after having served as a Policy Adviser to Michael Gove when he was Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, working to develop new post-Brexit frameworks for
agriculture and the environment. Prior to that, he was the Head of Research at the liberal conservative think tank Bright Blue, leading their work on energy and the environment, and a Parliamentary Researcher for a Conservative MP.
