Lady Garrett
Patron
Jane Garrett was appointed to the Board of CleanupUK Trustees in May 2017 and became patron in 2024. Jane was previously CEO of CL:AIRE and led the launch of an authoritative definition of waste for use by the development industry. The result was a widely accepted Code of Practice for movement of soils which was internationally acclaimed and which has delivered substantial cost savings to the development sector. As a farmer’s daughter and a zoology graduate she has always been interested in sustainability and the environment. She worked as CEO of Brogdale Horticultural Trust for ten years and subsequently joined the Board of Covent Garden Market Authority, at a time when it was defining a strategy that would lead to a positive future, through embracing an innovative development package for the 60 acre inner London site. She has had a successful and entrepreneurial career, operating in the commercial, charitable and political sectors.
