About Roundabout Senior Management

Ben started work in this field as a volunteer for the Citizens Advice Bureau in Manchester in 1994. The following year, he took up his first paid role for Manchester City Council in their Homeless Section, as a Homeless Assessment Officer and Hostel Worker. He went on to work in London supporting former rough sleepers into their own tenancies. Whilst there, he became Team Leader in one of the first Tenancy Sustainment Teams for former rough sleepers.

With a passion for helping those experiencing homelessness to turn their lives around, Ben has been the Chief Executive of Roundabout since 2005. Under his leadership, the organisation has experienced substantial growth and expansion, both in terms of its capacity to support young people and its range of services. In his spare time, he enjoys unwinding by playing the guitar.

In her role over the past 15 years, Tracey has led the organisation through significant change management and organisational growth. Her areas of expertise are tender writing, performance management, continuous improvement and quality assurance. Tracey has worked in the 3rd sector and youth homelessness for almost 30 years and believes young people, given the right support and opportunities, can go on to achieve their aspirations and reach their full potential.
Outside of work Tracey enjoys yoga, reading, socialising and spending time with her two granddaughters.

With 39 years of experience in the homelessness sector, Rose joined Roundabout as the Manager of the Emergency Accommodation project in 2015.

Geoff joined Roundabout in 2020. He is responsible for the Central Services team, overseeing and developing the day-to-day processes for the behind-the-scenes admin that enables service managers and keyworkers to support young people effectively. His role also involves managing Roundabout’s database and all the data and statistics related to it! In his free time, Geoff likes all things music… from gig-going to collecting vinyl and DJing out and about around Sheffield.

Sue joined Roundabout in 2018, and is now the Head of Finance where she holds overall responsibility for Finance & Payroll. She oversees the day-to-day operations managed by her team, and her main focuses include reporting monthly financial results to the CEO & Trustees, monitoring against budget, and ensuring compliance for the annual audit. In her spare time, you’ll mainly find Sue being a taxi service for her little girl’s various extra-curricular clubs, but she also loves meeting up with friends for coffee, cake & bubbly drinks, and going to theatre when she can!
