Dave Robertson (Chair)

Chair of Governors

I currently lead the Retail IT team for the Co-op business. Based at Angel Square in Manchester with many of our other support centre colleagues I have had the privilege of being a part of the Co-op team since January 2017. Being born in Burslem and living locally pretty much all of my life gives me an understanding of the challenges faced in the area and therefore a real appreciation for the work that the teachers and staff are doing at the academy. As a parent, I realise the value that a solid and progressive education can bring in later life and it is for that reason I volunteered to join the Board of Governors. Since graduating in 1998 I have worked for multiple organisations specialising in IT services predominantly in the Retail environment. I hope to bring some of that experience to the Academy and to contribute to the fantastic work already being done there.
