Welcome Clark West, our new Operations Manager!

Clark began his career in the charitable sector as a community coordinator for Fareshare. It was here that he discovered his interest in helping people and saw the need for surplus food in his home county of Hampshire.

Wanting to increase his impact and help people more directly, Clark moved to FEAST, a charity providing nutritious meals to people experiencing food insecurity. It was at FEAST that Clark developed his passion for Operations, with a keen eye for internal processes and governance, while also getting to test his strategic thinking.

Clark also developed his management skills and focused on building agency and resilience in staff to maximise the impact they made on service users. Since FEAST, Clark has gone on to further senior leadership roles in the charity sector.

After his time at FEAST, Clark recognised that Operations is where his strengths, energy, and purpose are best aligned; working closely with teams, influencing positive change, and ensuring services deliver safe, consistent, and meaningful outcomes every day.

We're delighted to have Clark on board and look forward to the leadership, experience and insight he brings to Age UK Portsmouth.
