History
- Westhill Knowledge Group was founded
in 2003 by Heidi Mason and Carl Jackson. Heidi offered editorial
consultancy, specialising in on screen editing of public sector
and academic texts for Birkbeck, IFAD, ITAD, Judges Postcards,
the Max Lock Centre, Options, OECD, Philosophical Political
Academy and the UK Evaluation Society. Heidi's values continue
to inspire WKG's work.
Carbon Reduction
Approach - we are compensating
for some of our greenhouse gas emissions by helping the Woodland
Trust through its Woodland Carbon Scheme to create 500m2
of new native woodland in the UK – enough to store at
least 20 tonnes CO2. This is part of a strategic programme
to reduce emissions where possible over the next four years.
