Meet the Directors...........

Ian Holmes BA (PGCE)

Ian has worked in the community and voluntary sector since 1986.  He is currently the Chief Executive of Pickering and Newington Development Association Limited (Panda Peoples parent organisation).

Ian combines blue-sky thinking with realistic financial constraints (forced upon him by Wendy the finance manager) in order to manage his organisation innovatively at the same time as remaining focussed on delivering the organisations and communities objectives.

Ian is proud to be trained in circus skills and his juggling skills proved very useful in moving the company away from grant dependency towards a more sustainble over 90% earned income model.

Ian is a keen Hull City supporter.

Colin Turner LLB (Hons)

Colin is a law graduate from the London School of Economics. He joined the community and voluntary sector after holding management positions in the private sector.

Colin worked in London during the 'dot com boom' and helped set up and held senior management positions in several internet companies, some of which he is proud to say are still trading today.

Colin is a lifelong Hull FC rugby league fan and also follows Hull City.
