Andy Ainsworth is a Practice Area Lead for Green Infrastructure with a PhD in Environmental Microbiology and over 20 years of multidisciplinary consulting experience helping public- and private-sector clients deliver biodiversity-led, regulatory-compliant projects. He combines rigorous academic analysis with hands-on programme delivery, having worked for clients such as Network Rail, Defra, Thames Water and Welsh Government and advised government committees on waste and innovation. Based in Manchester, he has progressed from technical R&D roles into regional leadership and now leads green infrastructure practice workstreams that span assessment, design and long-term management. Unusually for an environmental leader, he also contributes to developer-focused open-source tooling and DevOps—improving containerised deployments and Helm charts for AI-agent projects—bringing a pragmatic, infrastructure-first mindset to nature-based solutions.
