We are delighted to introduce you to Martin Davidson

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

He 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’s appointment comes in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and a growing concern that young people’s mental health and wellbeing has reached crisis point.
