Chief Executive Officer, Dominic Ball

After 22 years in Local Government, I joined Amicus Trust in May 2023. One of the things that initially attracted me to the public sector was the opportunity to improve the lives and outcomes of the community within which I lived. As my career progressed that local connection got lost along the way as I moved between councils. I moved to Bedford in 2017 and I’ve been looking for the right opportunity to rebuild the connection between where I choose to live and the work that I do. We should all have the right to somewhere to call home and I intend to make Amicus a first step toward independent living for as many people as we can support.
