Philip Price, Executive Director of TP ICAP Group plc, has been appointed to the new National Numeracy Leadership Council.

Mr Price will join representatives from HM Treasury and senior executives from the UK’s leading businesses in an effort to help improve the nation’s numeracy. The Council will be led by Andy Haldane, CEO of the RSA and former Bank of England Chief Economist.

The Council and its member organisations will also help support people to improve and use their numeracy by creating positive attitudes to numbers and maths, supporting financial wellbeing, increasing access to sustainable careers and, ultimately, stimulating productivity across the entire workforce.

“Numeracy matters – for individuals, for families and for society overall. That’s why TP ICAP is proud to have supported National Numeracy since 2018 and we’re excited to join this new Leadership Council. Because engaging people to improve their numeracy skills and build their confidence is a critical part of fostering social mobility.”
