Social Enterprise UK has hired Nick Temple as its new director of business.

Temple is known as the former director of policy and communications at the School of Social Entrepreneurs, and also recently co-founded and ran the pop-up social enterprise think-tank, POPse!.

He will start in October with the remit of driving growth in the umbrella organisation.

Peter Holbrook, CEO of Social Enterprise UK, said: "Social Enterprise UK is gaining new members, partners and supporters from far and wide and Nick is going to help us capitalise on our opportunity to build a powerful, sustainable force for social enterprise that brings real benefits to our members and networks.”
