He has a history of successful sales, marketing and financial management, coupled with excellent business acumen and commercial awareness. Dale ran his own businesses for 27 years before joining the London East Training and Enterprise Council in 1997 as a Business Adviser.

Since Brexit when over 85% of the company’s contracts were ESF Dale has overseen the re-engineering of TCHC so that the company has a more balanced portfolio of contracts across the newly created Directorates of Youth Services, Adult and Communities & Justice.

After many successful years as TCHC Group’s Chief Executive, Dale was appointed Chairman of TCHC Group Ltd in 2017.
