REBECCA HATCH DIGITAL URBAN SOLUTIONS DIRECTOR AT FM CONWAY

most proud of? Q

What project are you

A

We worked with Westminster City Council, to develop a strategy for the borough’s 300 listed gas-lit lamps, which are historically significant and a feature of the neighbourhood. That work won an ILP award, and I was invited to Buckingham Palace to speak with the head of engineering – it was a truly memorable project and a very special moment in my career. I’m also very proud of founding the Young Lighting Professionals group – we started with just two people in 2009 and now it has over 400 members.

It’s helped create space for younger voices in the industry. Building this network has been about opening doors for the next generation and making it more inclusive for the years to come.

outside of work? Q

What do you like to do

A

I love to travel and I’m a bit of a foodie – and at home, my English bulldog Reggie keeps me busy.
