ENPAA team

Meet the team

ENPAA relies on a small central team based in London. A Director, Policy Officer and Administrator ensure that the NPAs’ voice is heard in the corridors of power. ENPAA relies heavily on the expertise of the staff and members from the nine National Park Authorities, and regular contact is maintained with them.

Paul co-ordinates the strategic direction of the organisation, assists in the development of ENPAA policies, and represents the National Park Authorities by engaging with senior decision makers and the media.

Amanda Brace, Policy Officer
