Kit is the Green Economy Manager for Glasgow City Council, where he leads on the development of the Green New Deal for Glasgow, as well as fostering the wider systemic transformation for an economy which works for the wellbeing of all, within planetary boundaries.

Prior to this, Kit was a Climate Resilience Business Manager for sustainability charity, Sniffer, where he set up and managed the Climate Ready Clyde partnership – a group of 15 organisations collaborating.
