Julian is well known and respected across the UK and globally and his network includes governments, campaigners, household brands, retailers, trade
associations and media. His core beliefs of collaboration, integrity and passion have delivered multiple benefits during his career.
After legal training he ‘saw the light’ and went in-house to Tesco where he worked for nearly 10 years across legal, property, corporate responsibility
and corporate affairs. Before he left Tesco he was responsible for communications strategy and delivery across much of the UK. In 2007 he joined
Walmart as Head of Corporate Sustainability at Asda, responsible for embedding and accelerating sustainability.
For 7 years he was Walmart’s sustainability representative in Europe. At Asda he created and ran the Corporate Sustainability Team responsible for
strategy, policy, internal and external engagement and collaboration with Walmart. He devised strategies that were the catalyst for £100’s millions
of bottom line savings and absolute carbon reductions across all operations. He built the largest and most successful UK supplier engagement
programme focused on resource efficiency. His passion to engage consumers and embed their priorities into core strategy led to the founding of the
Everyday Experts panel, now exceeding 20,000 members making it the largest standing sustainability insight panel in the world.
He also mapped Asda’s entire food business and UK portfolio against future risks from climate change and created adaptation strategies to tackle
this. When he left in June 2014 he was at the time the longest serving sustainability lead in Walmart’s history and the most influential. During his
