Patrick is Chair of the Environment Network this year, he works in the renewable energy industry and believes that only the Labour Party has a credible and ambitious plan for the environment. He is also Secretary of the Economy & Finance Network and an Inflation Reduction Act and reforestation enthusiast.

Whilst his sense of humour has been described as 'quantity over quality', his colleagues on the committee kindly forgive him on account of their shared passion for the environment and sustainability.
