In Conversation with Barry Prater

Having studied chemistry at university, Barry Prater became a researcher and scientist specialising in environmental pollution. Most of his career was spent at British Steel, where he was focused on research examining the impact on the environment of the steel industry. His dedication and determination to get environmental concerns across the industry resulted in his team at British Steel working at the cutting edge of environmental research. 

Taking early retirement in 2000, Barry lost his wife to cancer and had to take stock and work out how he could continue to live a purposeful life. He found that the answer lay in his old hobbies of birding and conservation. In 2007, with his second wife, Barry moved to Scotland and devoted his time to conservation issues. In 2022, Barry won an RSPB Nature Award for conservation work on the Northern brown argus butterfly. 

Barry is a genuine example of living a purposeful life, and his story will inspire and motivate you to look at where you can make a difference.
