Gillian McNeill

EU SWIM Project Officer

Gillian joined us in June 2020 and has worked within print media for 32 years. She also started her own full service agency in 1992, bringing a tailored personable approach to PR, design, marketing, publishing and event-management. This included producing LifestyleGreen, the first sustainability magazine and show in the UK and Ireland. 


She has worked for many charities, covering a diversity of social issues such as mental health, counselling, dementia care, support for older people and premature baby services. 

With relevance for this role, she brings experience from sustainability posts as Marketing and Communications Manager at WWT Castle Espie, PR & Communications Manager with the Bryson Charitable Group and her work locally with the Cooperative Foundation. 

With a keen interest in the urban environment, Gillian likes outdoor life and when she isn’t growing vegetables she is cooking them for dinner! Travelling, swimming, music, upholstery and upcycling or revamping preloved items all fill her free time.
