LLOYD JONES - CHAIR (From Dec' 2025)

Co-opted to the Board in August 2017, Lloyd has 25 years experience working in the Environmental sector. Since 2013 he has worked for Natural Resources Wales (NRW), based in Llandarcy. 

He currently leads a team of hydrologists and geomorphologists. Recently Lloyd and his team have been working across South Wales helping to restore some of our iconic rivers like the Teifi and Wye.

He is also chair of NRW’s Active and Sustainable Travel groups, whose aim is to increase the use of sustainable transport, promoting both a reduction in carbon but also the health and well-being benefits we can all derive from Sustainable travel. 

Lloyd is an active member of the UNISON NRW Branch. He chaired the branch from 2020 until 2023 but stepped down to concentrate on supporting Members.

Lloyd is an strong believer in the health and well-being benefits that the environment has to offer the people of Swansea. A volunteer with Involve from 2011 until 2019, Lloyd has seen first-hand how time spent walking on Swansea Bay or up Kilvey Hill has benefited both him and the young person he volunteered with.

Lloyd lives in Swansea with his wife and two young girls. He can often be found walking, surfing and cycling on Gower.
