Karel Thomas, Executive Director
Congratulations to Julie Charge, who has been appointed as the permanent Finance Director at the University of Salford, taking over David Reeve's office as he leaves his interim (sic) role after 2+ years. Best wishes to David as he has a rest before his next interim assignment!
After 9 years at the University of West London, Helen Turner has announced that she is retiring at the end of March 2015. Helen has been a stalwart supporter of BUFDG and we will miss her, but there will be opportunities to thank her in person at the BUFDG conference at Lancaster (12th-14th April 2015) and the next London regional meeting at City University, London on 5th February 2015 - this is the one in the year where colleagues from the South-West region join to swell the ranks, so make sure it's in your diary.
