Martin Trigg-Knight

Martin, our Director of Compliance Services, joined Clarity in 2014 after a successful career in academia and charity fundraising.

Starting as an Account Manager, Martin focused on expanding our offerings, particularly to brand names, within the WEEE and Packaging Schemes. He then transitioned to our wholesale PRN trading team, supplying PRNs to major schemes and producers in the UK. This role exposed him to Clarity’s wide network of PRN suppliers and provided him with firsthand experience in navigating challenging markets.

Martin’s involvement in regulatory and policy affairs led him to become the Chair of the Packaging Scheme Forum, a crucial compliance scheme industry body that liaises with DEFRA, The Environment Agency, and HMRC. He also sits on various government advisory bodies, including the Industry Working Group on Plastic Packaging Tax and the Covid 19 Industry Advisory Group. Through these roles, Martin advocates for the interests of our key grocery and retail members, aiming to address volatility in the PRN market.

As a director, Martin empowers our members by providing them with insightful information, clear explanations, and contextual understanding. His expertise allows them to make informed decisions about their compliance strategies.
