David Price, former MD of Price Express Transport Ltd, has joined the Board of South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation as a trustee.
David established his business in 1979 from his parents’ home. Over nearly four decades, he grew Price Express Transport into a successful logistics company operating in a niche market across the UK, before selling in 2015.
He holds ‘The David Price Charitable Fund’ with SYCF, which supports local charities aligning with David’s passion for helping young people back into work, education or training and projects reducing social isolation amongst older people.
David said: “I’ve spent my lifetime living and working in South Yorkshire, so when I sold my business just over ten years ago, I wanted to find a way to help more disadvantaged people in the region.
“Through a personal fund, South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation has enabled me to achieve that. But I wanted to do even more, so I’m absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to help make a bigger difference by becoming a trustee.
“SYCF is a unique organisation which does some incredible work, particularly supporting the real grassroots groups in our region. I’m proud to be a part of the team.”
