Our people

The TUC team works in Congress House in London, in Brussels, and across England and Wales.

We’re led by our General Secretary, Paul Nowak, and supported by our Assistant General Secretary, Kate Bell.

If you would like to interview Paul or Kate, please contact the TUC media team.

The TUC believes that all organisations should publish information about their gender pay gap to support the fair treatment and reward of all workers irrespective of gender, so we are publishing our gender pay gap even though we have fewer than 250 employees.

Paul Nowak, General Secretary

Paul leads the TUC. He's our chief spokesperson, and is responsible to the General Council for the day-to-day running of the organisation. Paul has held this post since January 2023.

Kate Bell, Assistant General Secretary

Kate supports Paul in leading the TUC. Kate works with external stakeholders on behalf of the TUC and is responsible for inter-union relations. She also leads on internal TUC matters.

Paul and Kate are supported by a small management team, who deliver the TUC’s priorities day-to-day.
