CEW has gained a new team member, Sarah Brennan, as the Project Manager for the Construction Waste BEST programme. Sarah will be responsible for the Built Environment Sustainability Training programme, otherwise known as BEST, working with Cardiff University, in order to support the construction industry to meet the targets outlined in Towards Zero Waste. Within her role at CEW she will manage the development and execution of the built environment waste project from initiation to closure working collaboratively with the project sponsors, partners, other contributors and stakeholders across all aspects of project delivery.

Sarah is a qualified Project Manager in the construction industry gaining experience from Lovell repairs and maintenance based at a local community housing association in Cardiff Bay. She has also gained valuable experience and knowledge of the construction industry after spending some time with a small contractor based in Newport covering quantity surveying, project management and estimation practice. Prior to this she gained extensive working knowledge of local authorities after working at both Newport City and Monmouthshire County Council as a quantity surveyor.

Sarah returned to education as a mature student to re-train whilst working for the former Westbury Homes and then Persimmon Homes, here she completed her HNC Building Studies which provided her with the basic knowledge and understanding of the construction industry and built environment as a whole. Sarah then funded her Bsc Project Management in Construction via the University of Glamorgan. This enabled her to become even more aware of the industry and the changes that are happening in this along with the relevant legislation and legal duties.
