Who We Are

Steven Kiakowski

Director

Driven to educate the workforce of the future and protect the planet through carbon neutral practices, Steven co-founded The Verdancy Group with Colin in 2015. He recognised the need for habits to change in order to safeguard our planet’s future. The Verdancy Group was founded to drive environmental education and transform practices at home, in the community and within industry.

 

Steven’s expertise lies in the subject itself, with his knowledge of the industry steering our eLearning materials and business courses. Whether building our brand or poring through the course materials to ensure they are of the highest quality, Steven lies central to business strategy and operations.

Susan McSeveney

Director

Susan joined the business in late May 2021 after a successful career in FE as a Lecturer, Depute Centre Head and laterally a Learning and Skills Manager with West Lothian College. Susan has long been invested in the environment and looking for ways to help.

 

Her own interest, alongside her belief that more can be done to teach sustainability in schools and colleges, makes her a natural fit for The Verdancy Group. A vital asset to the business, Susan brings a full understanding of the education sector in Scotland coupled with contacts through the industry. Her knowledge of our service and where it can fit within colleges and schools has helped us focus and streamline our offering.
