Following on from the update circulated by the Chair of Trustees on the 16th January, it is with great pleasure that I can announce the appointment of Lisa Wheatley as our Head of Operations with effect from 1st March 2020.
The Board and I have been working hard to review the staff structure over the past month and felt it appropriate to appoint Lisa to this new and exciting role. It provides a focus for the operations at the Trust and clearly demonstrates my confidence, and that of the Board of Trustees, in Lisa.
I know that staff and our community will join me in congratulating her and continue to support her hard work in fulfilling the aims of the Charity.
