In December we will welcome Pete Sugg as Chief Officer at Young Solutions

Pete Sugg has worked as a Manager in Worcestershire for the last 30 years. He has a wealth of management experience in the Voluntary and Statutory Sector locally. He started his career as a Play Officer with Redditch Play Council and then moved to work at Redditch YMCA in a variety of management roles over 15 years.

In 2003 Pete moved to Worcestershire County Council as a Commissioning Manager where he commissioned a range of initiatives including the Children’s Fund and Early Help.

In all these projects he championed the role of the Voluntary & Community Sector as a key provider of services in Worcestershire and having led a number of Strategic Partnerships in the region always ensured the voice of the voluntary sector is heard.
