Paula Ward

Economic Infrastructure Specialist - South of Scotland Enterprise

Paula Ward works for South of Scotland Enterprise as an Economic Infrastructure Specialist. She specialises in Programme Management, Tourism, Hospitality & Destination Leadership. Her current role is South of Scotland Cycling Strategy Delivery Manager and UCI Optimisation. South of Scotland Cycling Partnership has committed to 10 milestone moments in their strategy over the next 10 years. 2023 UCI World Cycling Championships in Scotland last year required a huge investment but the results are being deeply measured in terms of citizen participation, social impact & inclusion, value and broadcast capability. The event was a catalyst for change, especially because a legacy plan was anticipated very early in the event planning phase and is still ongoing.
