Nick Mole PAN-UK
Nick joined PAN UK in March 2007 as the UK and European Programme Coordinator. At university Nick studied environmental science focussing on hydrology, water quality and environmental hazards.
Nick works on a number of different areas including UK agricultural pesticide policy, campaigning for an end to the use of bee toxic pesticides throughout the EU and is currently running the PAN UK Pesticide Free Towns Campaign. The aim of the campaign is to reduce and stop the use of pesticides in the amenity sector. PAN UK has been working in collaboration with a number of UK councils to trial non-chemical weed control methods and to switch away from the use of pesticides.

Chair
Chair: Veronica Yates, CRIN
Veronica has worked for CRIN for 15 years. Joining CRIN when it was part of Save the Children, she led it to independence in 2008. Under Veronica’s leadership CRIN has grown from three to 15 members of staff based in four countries, and active contacts in 160 countries. Her firm commitment to rights, not charity for children has laid the foundations for CRIN’s identity: courage, the law and plain communication are the route to lasting change, not the latest trend or the biggest wallet.
