In 2016, he moved to the UK to pursue his M.Sc on Environmental Management where he studied the response of River Sherbourne’s macro-invertebrates to change in water quality. Shortly after his M.Sc he was offered a role as Environmental Sustainability Assistant in Primark’s UK central office and his job required him to liaise with all the regional teams to ensure that Primark’s supply chain partners are compliant to its sustainability requirements. He was promoted to Environmental Sustainability Coordinator in March 2019 and he is a key member of a growing team of sustainability experts in Primark. Beside Hamza’s professional work he keeps himself well informed of the current academic research on natural capital and water management with the hope of pursuing a PhD degree in future.
