Lee Hibbett

Technical Manager within the School of Pharmacy University of Nottingham

I’m a Technical Manager within the School of Pharmacy UoN and I’ve just completed a 6-month secondment with the UoN sustainability team looking at making our lab areas greener and trying to get as many as possible LEAF accredited.

I have been a technician working at the UoN for over 32 years working in many different types of research labs. In that time sustainability has not really been on the radar, so I’m happy to see that in the last few years there has been a big drive in this field. I have always been passionate about sustainability and 3 years ago, I set up the Technical Sustainability Working Group to work with UoN sustainability, to bridge the gap between labs and estates. The working group consists of likeminded technicians across all fields and departments coming together, to find and look for new ways to improve and change sustainable practices in the areas they work and through this work I received the 2022 Green gown award for sustainable staff campion.

Lab sustainable practices, being better!
