The team
Leyla Boulton
Leyla has lived in the same Grade II listed house in Islington for almost 30 years. A journalist at the Financial Times, she has written about turning her Georgian terrace into a test case of what needs to change to cut both our energy bills and CO2 emissions. She loves Islington, its people and its heritage, and wants to help the neighbourhood remain a fair and forward-looking place to live.
Anne-Marie Huby
Anne-Marie moved to Islington from her native Belgium 30 years ago and never left. A former aid worker and digital entrepreneur, she joined Leyla to launch the Green Conservation campaign after her own attempts at making a listed house more sustainable. What drives her is the potential for Islington to become a trail-blazer in upgrading historic homes for energy efficiency, including and especially affordable housing.
