Yorkshire

Adrian Curtis, our long-standing Executive Director, recently announced his retirement, after 24 years at the helm of Groundwork Yorkshire. Adrian’s leadership has been transformational for Groundwork across Yorkshire, most notably as the driving force behind the successful merger of three local Trusts to create Groundwork Yorkshire in 2021. Over decades, he has been at the heart of pioneering, boundary pushing regeneration programmes. Beginning with the landmark transformation of Rothwell Country Park from post industrial dereliction into a thriving green space, and continuing through a legacy of impactful projects including Victoria Gardens, which established Groundwork’s community led design approach in a major city centre setting, and Better Start Bradford which demonstrated the lasting power of inclusive, community focused greenspace regeneration for all ages.
