Since 2001 Graham has been based in the North West, first working for the Cooperative Group and then for 13 years as CEO of the Wheatsheaf Group, part of the Grosvenor Estate. Graham was a founding member of the Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and is now a Partner at London based Greensphere Capital where he drives their investment strategy to develop nature-based technology solutions to address the challenges of climate change and global biodiversity loss. Graham lives just over the border in North Wales with his family and hopes to combine his previous experience and connections within the area to drive forward Crewe Youth Zone. Graham has been a passionate supporter of OnSide since first visiting the Bolton Lads and Girls Club in 2010. He is delighted to be involved in creating a Youth Zone for the young people of Crewe, to give them the chance to explore their interests and unlock their full potential. Graham has a particular interest in the future employability of young people, connecting them with local businesses to build an enduring legacy from the strong foundations The Dome will provide.
