Duxbury joins Groundwork

Graham Duxbury is the new national chief executive at Groundwork, replacing Sir Tony Hawkhead.

Duxbury has worked for Groundwork for more than 15 years, most recently as its director of development. Duxbury will steer the charity through its next phase as it seeks to achieve its 2015 goals to improve 1,000 spaces, help 100,000 households out of fuel poverty and support 10,000 people into education, training and work.

He said: “Groundwork is entering a new phase in its history that’s full of opportunity but not without its challenges. As demand for our projects and services grows we need to be ever more creative and resourceful to ensure we can deliver. I’m privileged to be able to lead an organisation so full of passionate, professional people and look forward to working with existing partners and building new alliances.”
