Following the sudden death of his father from cancer Howard took a career break and became a volunteer, undertaking small sustainable projects around the world.
It was during this time that his outlook changed and he realised he wanted to make a positive difference to the environment we all share. He signed up as a mature student and studied for four years, obtaining a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Health at Nottingham Trent University. The study path was demanding and involved a placement, completion of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health’s (CIEH) Practical Training Logbook and the CIEH’s professional qualifications. Once qualified, Howard joined Boston Borough Council. “The job requires considerable people skills as well as technical knowledge. No two days are the same and as such I feel constantly challenged that I am making a positive difference through my work. “My advice to anyone looking to join the profession would be to stick with it. The end goal of working in a profession that makes a difference is well worth it.” And you can see from the picture that it also entails a healthy lifestyle. This is Howard checking cockle samples on the coast near Boston. |
