Episode Synopsis

Catch22 traces its roots back to the late eighteenth century and lays claim to the initiation of a range of public services from education to probation. For many of the statutory services we know today, they started off as ideas and then became services delivered by private and voluntary organisations – such as Catch22.

Today host Josie Cochrane is joined by Catch22’s former CEO Chris Wright. From his early days as a social worker to leading Catch22 through the immense changes for nearly two decades, he’s been a huge advocate for the power of social enterprises and the importance of public sector innovation. As he hands over the reins to Catch22 CEO Naomi Hulston, we talk about public services, the changes he’s seen over the years, and the future of public sector procurement.
