After more than 30 years in the petrochemical and gas industry, Kenny left, disillusioned by the environmental damage being done. He previously spoke for Friends of the Earth on its “just transition” campaign and now volunteers with PCH, driving its move from council to community ownership. He supports rewilding to tackle biodiversity loss, is a trustee of Scotland’s environmental film festival, and promotes active travel as a keen cyclist. He recently qualified as a heritage tour guide and received a silver award from Architecture Scotland. He chairs Falkirk Writers’ Circle and runs with Polmont Joggers.
Claire spent her earlier career in banking before deciding to leave the corporate world behind for a change in direction. Her customer relations background has made her a natural fit for the hub, where she has become a key part of the day-to-day running. She looks after most of its business relationships, including billing and invoicing, and has saved tens of thousands of pounds in annual running costs.
Joan is honest, extremely diligent and always willing to go the extra mile to achieve a goal. She gives her time generously whenever it’s needed, so that the hub remains open as an asset for the residents of Polmont and beyond.
Stuart has spent more than 30 years in IT with some of the world’s largest investment and retail banks. Over that time he has taken on a wide range of roles and responsibilities, working in large multinational organisations across many time zones to support and lead teams of software engineers. Outside work, he has completed a number of residential property renovations and built up a broad set of practical, hands-on skills. He is keen to help with whatever needs doing at the hub so that it stays in the community for generations to come. He also volunteers with other local charities, and recently helped complete the renovation of a new shop for the Brighton's and Braes mental health charity Craigs Corner.
Monty is the hub’s mascot and zero-waste icon, and with good reason: he has escaped landfill not once but three times. His permanent home is the main office, where he works the room, and his favourite thing is spreading love and compassion to volunteers of every age. He joins in at all the hub’s events and has been a member since the very beginning. The place really wouldn’t be the same without his happy, cheerful presence.
