Karel Thomas, Executive Director
Last week we waved goodbye to our lovely colleague Emma Keenan, who for the frst time for ages has some real downtime before she starts her new job as Deputy Director of LUPC at the end of April. Good luck, Emma! If you have any questions that you would normally ask of Emma, then send them to Karel for now.
Congratulations to Gary Butler, who has been confirmed as the permanent Chief Financial Officer at the University of Wolverhampton, and to Paul Buttery who is now the CFO at Keele after spells as Acting FD. It's all change at Hull with Denise McConnell returning as Interim COO to join Jeremy Hartley, Head of Finance. Stephen Willis starts his new role at Durham later this month. Welcome back to the sector to two familiar names - in interim roles are Chris Reilly at UCLAN and Miles Hedges at Derby. Goodbye and good luck to Caroline Harrison who is leaving Richmond, the American University in London to be the Finance Director at the Association of Commonwealth Universities. There are more announcements in the pipeline, which we will bring you as soon as we can. Even I am having a job to keep up at the moment!
