Our Team

Circular Economy UK

TSC is powered by a small, highly driven team committed to convening the leaders shaping the UK’s future economy.

Our work sits at the intersection of industry, investment and government, bringing together the organisations and individuals delivering the next generation of infrastructure, innovation and economic growth across the UK.

Behind every conference, roundtable and partnership is a team focused on creating platforms where ideas become partnerships, and partnerships become projects.

Leadership

TSC was founded by Kate Hutchinson, an entrepreneur and convenor working at the forefront of the UK’s clean industrial growth agenda.

Kate established TSC to create a platform capable of bringing together senior leaders from business, investment, infrastructure and government to accelerate collaboration across the sectors shaping the future economy.

Through TSC, she has built a national network of more than 20,000 leaders, convening conferences and investment summits across the UK focused on energy transition, advanced manufacturing, infrastructure, future cities and land systems.

Kate regularly works with senior policymakers, investors and industry leaders to help unlock collaboration, investment and innovation across the UK’s regions.

Partnerships

Our partnerships team works closely with corporates, investors and public sector organisations to build strategic collaborations around our national conferences and regional programmes.

They help organisations engage directly with the leaders shaping the future economy – creating opportunities for thought leadership, commercial partnerships and investment visibility across the sectors driving industrial transformation.

Event Operations

Delivering large-scale national conferences requires exceptional operational leadership.

Our events team ensures every TSC gathering – from private roundtables to flagship national conferences — runs seamlessly, creating environments where senior leaders can focus on what matters most: building relationships, sharing insight and unlocking new opportunities.

Our Approach

TSC operates with a simple belief: the UK’s next industrial chapter will be delivered through collaboration.

Our role is to convene the people capable of delivering it — creating the trusted environments where industry, investment and government can come together to drive progress.
