Paul has worked in the housing association sector for the past 33 years and is currently CEO of LiveWest, which is the largest provider of affordable housing across the South-West, owning nearly 40,000 homes. LiveWest is also one of the largest developing housing associations in England and over the next 5 years will be developing over 7,000 new homes of all tenures, investing over £1.6B in the SouthWest economy.
In his role as CEO of LiveWest, Paul has first-hand experience of many of the barriers that are impacting on educational attainment, developing the skills, creating job opportunities, and improving the social mobility of young people across our region. Given the ongoing cost of living crisis, it is clear that establishing this Commission has a critical role to play more than ever in addressing these barriers and in delivering meaningful change to the educational and employment prospects for young people across the region.
