Amanda joined the PET Board in August 2017 as a Non-Executive Director. She joined the Findhorn Community in 1977, living and working there until she moved to Sweden in 1991.

During 23 years residence in Sweden she lived in two structures of housing associations, serving as chair of one.  These experiences gave her insights and understanding of the advantages, requirements and complexities of shared housing.

Amanda has also worked extensively with social enterprises serving on the European Board of the Social Venture Network Europe (SVNE) for seven years. In 2006 she established the Nordic office for the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) which she ran until retirement in 2014.

Amanda is honoured to serve PET as its Chair since April 2023.
