PAUL BLOMFIELD

Before my election in 2010, I was General Manager of the University of Sheffield's award-winning Students' Union, with responsibility for 800 staff and an annual turnover of £11 million. I was the Chair of the Sheffield City Trust between 1997 and 2008, responsible for all of Sheffield's major leisure and sports facilities including Pond's Forge and the Arena - together with the City Hall, for which we secured the £12.5 million investment to save it from closure and refurbish it.
