Queen Alexandra Charity appoints new enterprises managing director

Queen Alexandra Charity (QAC) has announced the appointment of its first managing director role to work across its enterprise services. 

Jagdeep Soor (pictured) joins the charity bringing with him over 25 years of working in the area of Equality, Diversity, Inclusion (EDI) in Employment, Skills and Apprenticeships, supporting marginalised individuals and underrepresented communities to improve lives through skills and work.

Based in Harborne, Birmingham, the QA Charity supports young adults with learning difficulties and disabilities through Education (Queen Alexandra College), Residential Services and Community Services.

The Charity has a strong history in supporting people with visual impairments and operates successful business enterprises whose profits are directed back into the charity, and which specialise in the area of VI: All Formats, Sight Village and Carbon Fibre Canes. 

Jagdeep said: “I’m really looking forward to build upon the brilliant foundations that have already been established with the different enterprises and looking at areas to improve support to the vital work the charity does. I’m looking forward to working with, not just our visually impaired community and those who provide specific services and technologies, but I’m also keen to be connecting with the Birmingham and wider business community, to discuss how we can work collaboratively and build meaningful partnerships.

“For example, All Formats is a leading braille, large print and audio producer, providing commercial accessible print services. EDI is a hot topic in business, and All Formats could hugely support businesses looking to broaden their reach in this area. There is so much potential here at QAC and its Enterprises and I’m looking forward to championing, developing and growing the services further.”
