Claire Paul MBE

Working with our Artistic Director, Claire helped to establish Continuum Choral Foundation from scratch and now looks after the operational side of the organisation.

Claire spent many years in senior editorial and corporate roles at the BBC, including serving as Director of Leadership, Careers and New Talent, before moving into senior consultancy roles across the public, charitable and education sectors. Having studied flute and singing at Chetham’s School of Music, she is delighted to return to her musical roots as General Manager of Continuum Choral Foundation.

Alongside Continuum, Claire is Chair of SPEAR London and serves as a Trustee and Non Exec Director in the education sector. She has held a number of national advisory roles, including co-chair of the government’s Apprentice Delivery Board. She was awarded an MBE in 2019 for services to education and apprenticeships.
