Paul has been an integral part of the trust’s development over the past 22 years and replaces Simon Carnall, who is joining Derby County as chief operations officer.

“I am looking forward to working with the rest of the board and all of the staff, volunteers and partners of DCCT to continue to build on this outstanding work and ensure that the charity continues to support the people of Derby and Derbyshire in new and innovative ways.”
