Jennie Price

Since joining Sport England in April 2007, Jennie Price has successfully implemented a new strategic approach to investing in community sport and has restructured the organisation to improve delivery of this strategy. She is also Chair of the Lottery Forum, which consists of chief executives of National Lottery distributors.

Before this, Jennie was the founding Chief Executive of WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme), which was established by Government in 2000 to improve the UK’s recycling performance and reduce waste. As part of this, she oversaw a programme that increased the number of committed recyclers in England by five million people in just two years.

Before heading WRAP, Jennie spent 17 years in the construction industry, first as a lawyer and then as Chief Executive of the Major Contractors Group and the Construction Confederation, two of the leading representative bodies for the UK construction industry.

Jennie is a Visiting Fellow at the Cranfield School of Management, an Honorary Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and a Trustee of Breakthrough Breast Cancer. She has written two text books on construction law.
