“I had previously collaborated with Substance on designing a series of evaluation measures for a research project funded by Sport England. After seeing the work Substance do and the ongoing projects they are involved in within the sport sector, I knew I wanted to work for them! Outside of work I enjoy playing and watching football as well as cycling”.
