Steve Bradshaw
Steve Bradshaw has spent over 20 years working in the sports and the third sector, working in partnership with local authorities, private enterprises and charities to develop an inclusive range of sporting, health, educational and social opportunities for individual and neighbourhoods. The projects he has delivered have left a legacy for the communities of the East of England, both in terms of major capital projects and the community programmes that bring those facilities to life. Steve believes that being clear about what we set out to achieve, by ensuring that partners and stakeholders feel included in the development of the project and by delivering programmes on time and on budget are the foundation stones of progress and good governance.
Steve's career has spanned most of the functions within professional football including roles as Chief Executive of the highly regarded Colchester United Community Sports Trust; a post brought him face to face with a range of challenges including sports, health, educational and social inclusion issues and as Chief Executive of Colchester United FC. His belief in the value of each partner's contribution and their ability to interact positively with their own community is fuelled by his passion for development projects that help to re-generate whole neighbourhoods and offer aspirational opportunities for those living in the midst of fundamental change.
