The highly respected and multiple award-winning CEO of property firm Nicholson Group, Paul Nicholson has been appointed as a trustee of the Standing Tall Foundation.

It’s a charity he has much admired after it was founded in 2020 by John Tabern MSc and triple amputee Andy Reid MBE.

Paul, a wellbeing advocate himself, was particularly inspired by how the foundation promote the mental health and physical wellbeing of all community groups in St Helens, by providing free professional support services.

His firm employs more than 20 staff and is based in Beecham’s Building in the centre of St Helen’s, a town he has championed and invested multi-millions of pounds of investment in since 2016.

Paul said: “I understand first-hand how the services provided by the Standing Tall Foundation are invaluable to families. The Foundation’s mission aligns closely with my own values, focusing on providing vital assistance to those in need, including mental health support, PTSD, addiction recovery programs and aid for veterans and disadvantaged individuals. They change lives for the better and I’m really proud to be involved.

“They are there for so many people who are literally at rock bottom in their lives. The charity’s founders, Andy Reid MBE and John Tabern have done a brilliant job since the Foundation was formed five years ago and providing advice and support in whichever way I can is a privilege, and I appreciate the opportunity for myself and Nicholson Group to be able to help.”

John Tabern said: “Andy and I could not be more pleased by the appointment of Paul to our Board of Trustees. This step will bring his wealth of experience directly to bear on our work, which can only result in better outcomes for those we support.”

The Standing Tall Foundation continues to provide essential services to individuals facing adversity, and with Paul’s appointment as a Trustee, the Foundation strengthens its leadership team with a dedicated advocate who is committed to making a difference.
