Our organising team

Jo runs ServiceWorks, where she teaches service design to people working in government and the third sector. 

She is lead organiser of GovCamp Cymru and is passionate about communities and creating change in public services.

She lives in Cardiff with her husband and teenage girls, and in her spare time you’ll find her playing drums and cycling, though rarely both at once!

Phil works for Natural Resources Wales; he is a content designer in the digital team. Although it’s busy, no two days are the same. Phil works with a brilliant manager and such a lovely team.

Phil volunteered for GovCamp Cymru as he loves organising things and wants to see better public services using more digital technology.

He lives in Cardiff with his partner, Andrew. In his spare time Phil spends a lot of time in the gym keeping fit.

Heledd works for Natural Resources Wales, where she leads a team to improve content and services for the people that need them, and reduce organisational burden. She’s a member of the CDPS advisory panel since early 2020.

She started volunteering for GovCamp in 2024 because she wants to help bring together those passionate about transforming public services in Wales. 

She is a qualified lowland leader to take groups walking and exploring in Bethesda, where she lives with her husband and cat.

Mark is passionate about people and the environment.  As a Senior Specialist Advisor at Natural Resources Wales he leads on talent management, placements and runs the corporate induction programme.

He participated in Jo’s Service Design In Practice course and attended GovCamp Cymru 2023 as a participant, loved it, and joined the team to help organise this year’s event.  “It was amazing to be among people who share my passion for service design and public services—it felt like finding my tribe!”

Mark lives near Mumbles in Swansea.  He loves being outdoors with his family.  He’s an avid mountain biker.  He also enjoys walking, surfing, coasteering and traveling in his campervan.  He especially enjoys winter trips to Scandinavia for the snowy landscapes.

There are dozens of others that have helped with organising GovCamp Cymru over the years.

Thank you to everyone that’s played a part - big or small - without you there would no GovCamp Cymru 2024.

We always needs extra people to help us make sure that the event can happen.
