Dale is an entrepreneur with clear vision and commitment who possesses the drive and determination to excel in demanding roles. With a successful track record in sales, marketing, and financial management, coupled with excellent business acumen and commercial awareness, Dale ran his own retail and distribution businesses for 27 years before transitioning to the role of Business Adviser at the London East Training and Enterprise Council in 1997.

Under Dale’s leadership, TCHC Group has grown and diversified into a company with nearly 100 staff, specialising in delivering Government contracts for the Department of Work & Pensions, the Department of Education, Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), and Local Authorities.

While Dale has a passion for Employability, the company has been reengineered in the last 3 years, focusing on education and specialising in helping the hardest-to-reach young people through our 6 Study Programme/Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND) Centres.
