David Burch

Senior Researcher

David delivers policy, research, membership and consultancy work at CLES.


David joined CLES in 2017 from Oldham Council. Here’s what he said when we asked him, ‘Why did you choose CLES?’

Having previously interned at CLES, I understood and admired how they operate and the values they hold. Working here I have the opportunity to study and develop progressive ideas and economic policies. I am able to contribute towards putting those ideas into practice across CLES’ projects, which covers a diverse range of topics as well as a wide geographic area. Ultimately, I chose CLES because I believe its work facilitates lasting positive impacts on people, places and organisations.
