We’re delighted to announce our Chief Executive, David Clayton, has won this year’s MAT-Finance Award for MAT Finance Champion of the Year.

The national awards, supported by IMP Software, recognises excellence in the MAT-finance sector and celebrates the unsung heroes of the industry for the impact they have made on the development of financial services within their Trust.

Renowned judges from, the Confederation of School Trusts, Institute of School Business Leadership, Dartmoor Multi-Academy Trust, IMP Software, L.E.A.D Academy Trust, and Bishop Fleming, identified David for his outstanding commitment to the educational needs of students and for championing GAG Pooling, to help drive the Consilium value of Equity across the Trust.

David lives and breathes our Consilium values of partnerships, opportunity, integrity, equity, excellence, and people-centred. His approach to MAT finance always puts students and staff at the forefront of the decision-making process, while ensuring the Trust remains a beacon of good practice for regulatory compliance. His dedication to lead change in order to transform the lives of every member of the Consilium Trust has been grounded in incorporating progressive systems that align and support these values. All of this was recognised by the judges on the night.

Congratulations, David, you are a fantastic asset to our Trust, and we are incredibly proud of your achievements.
