As Director of the multi award-winning Supply Chain Sustainability School, Ian Heptonstall leads the team that provides sustainability advice to over 25,000 managers and leaders from over 6,000 construction suppliers annually.
In addition, Ian provides strategic leadership for our Fairness, Inclusion and Respect, Social Value and Design for Manufacture and Assembly workstreams. Having worked in supply chains since the late-1980s, Ian has a deep understanding of the dynamics of supply chains and how these can bring social benefits to their local communities. Ian has used this knowledge to successfully launch and run a number of skills and construction related businesses since he started his first business in 1991, all of which are still flourishing.
Ian combines his passion for sustainability with a passion for sport. As every true Yorkshireman does, Ian spends his summers playing cricket and his winters being chairman of the local rugby club and coaching his local under-18 football team in their meteoric rise through the north London leagues (well, in his dreams!).
