Background

About Robbie Thornhill

With an MBA and experience of developing and leading high-performing teams across diverse sectors (including third sector, civil service, engineering, energy, and defence), my passion is driving innovation and creating cultures that get things done. Operational delivery and transformation require bringing people on board, and I bring the soft skills and technical acumen necessary to lead and develop the best organisations. I have extensive experience of winning business, strategic stakeholder management, and developing high-level partnerships that deliver mutual benefits to both partners and clients. I'm big on Confronting Defeatist Inertia. I don't want to hear that we can't do something - we can do anything. Ara (formerly Addiction Recovery Agency) supports some of the most vulnerable people in the South West and Wales, and I'm proud to be leading the team improving quality of life for our clients. I look to bring business acumen to the third sector, ensuring the evidence base is there for interventions, and driving operational effectiveness to be the heart of what we do. I'm passionate about supporting vulnerable people to improve their lives and re-integrate in to society, especially in the realms of homelessness and drug & alcohol recovery.
