Amanda Crawford, RHS Business Analyst

Amanda joined the Royal Horticultural Society in August 2016, as business analyst on the Horticultural Database project, more recently having been asked to step up to the role of project manager. She originally spent 10 years as a business analyst working in the Insurance sector, before taking a career break to complete a horticulture degree specialising in Landscape and Garden Management. Following this Amanda was recruited by Kew at the end of 2013, to work on the Science and Horticulture Systems project that was looking to align data stores across the organisation. Following the DEFRA funding review Amanda was reassigned to the HR and Finance system, more recently working for the RSPB.

Amanda enjoys working in environmental and horticultural charities, bringing her skills as a business analyst learnt in the

commercial sector, to bear on challenges in organisations that are making changes that she is passionate about.
