Futures Announces Paul Price-Hazlehurst as New CEO

Paul will lead the company’s growth and ongoing response to the pandemic. He leaves his role as Director of Programmes having joined the company back in February 2019.

We’ve had a successful year winning new work to support the communities we serve out of this pandemic and I believe we’re perfectly placed to do so.

I was drawn to Futures because I believe that providing people the opportunity to work and learn new skills changes lives and I’m proud to now take up the role of leading the team here onwards.”

“Paul brings with him a wealth of knowledge and a deep understanding of the sectors we operate in to this role. The Board and I look forward to working with him on driving the business forwards.”
