Our Valued Associates and Partners

Associates and Partners

Specialist expertise brought together for each client’s challenge

No consultant can—or should—claim expertise in everything.

Simon Penney Waste Consulting works with an international network of experienced independent associates, specialist organisations and professionals.

This enables Simon to create flexible teams for individual assignments, combining technical, policy, economic, environmental and local expertise.

Clients gain specialist capabilities when needed, without the overheads of a large permanent consultancy.

The network supports assignments from focused specialist advice to multidisciplinary waste-management and circular-economy programmes.

Partnerships that drive success

Simon is building a selected network of associates and partners who share the consultancy’s commitment to effective waste management, the circular economy and sustainable international development.

Each brings specialist knowledge, experience or regional insight that complements Simon’s services and strengthens responses to client challenges.

Collaboration may include:

  • Strategic consulting
  • Multidisciplinary project teams
  • International consortia
  • Research and analysis
  • Bid and proposal development
  • Policy and programme design
  • Education and professional training
  • Conference and speaking opportunities

International Networks for Global Impact

Associates and partners bring extensive professional relationships and international experience to the network.

Their combined expertise covers different aspects of waste management and the circular economy, including policy development, Extended Producer Responsibility, operational strategy, climate change, international development and professional capacity building.

This breadth of knowledge helps Simon develop solutions that are globally informed while remaining relevant to the client’s local circumstances.

A Wider and More Holistic Vision

Simon works with an evolving network of people and organisations in connected fields who share an interest in positive global change.

This network includes innovators, creators, thinkers, researchers and practitioners who challenge assumptions, explore possibilities and bring fresh perspectives to complex problems.

The consultancy values cross-disciplinary collaboration, intellectual curiosity and the belief that imagination, purpose and care can shape the future.
