Outward Bound have announced that Martin Davidson has been appointed as their new Chief Executive Officer.

Martin has formerly held the position of Director of Scotland and Innovation at Outward Bound, and will officially take the reins as their next CEO on 13 February 2023.

Martin will succeed Nick Barrett whose successful tenure over the last 17+ years has seen transformational change at the charity, inspiring hundreds of thousands of young people through learning and adventures in the wild.

Martin says:

“I am honoured to become the next Chief Executive of The Outward Bound Trust, having experienced first-hand the impact we can have. By combining the unpredictability of the outdoors with learning and adventure in the wild, our instructors support young people to build self-belief and resilience, often transforming lives for the better...In these uncertain times young people need Outward Bound more than ever, and I will work with our Board of Trustees and staff to ensure we place them at the heart of everything we do. Together, we will build on the success of the last decade to develop our work inspiring young people to achieve more than they ever thought possible.”
