The IHBC has welcomed the new Chief Executive (CE) of The Heritage Alliance, Lizzie Glithero-West, as she takes over from Kate Pugh OBE.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘We’re delighted to see Kate leave The Heritage Alliance in such capable hands, and look forward to continuing our close with the Alliance in the future’.
Lizzie Glithero-West said: ‘Following a fantastic handover from Kate Pugh OBE, I’ve been getting my feet under the table over the last couple of weeks and learning a huge amount. I’ve been meeting members, chairs of our advocacy groups, trustees and policy-makers; thinking about our policy ask in the new post-Referendum environment; and planning for the upcoming Debate, Board and Heritage Day. I’ve received such a warm welcome from new colleagues and members, and have been delighted to see again so many brilliant and dedicated people I’ve had the pleasure of working with before. I couldn’t be happier to be working at the Alliance and I’m looking forward to working with many of you and getting out and about.’
‘This week we’ve also welcomed our new Policy and Communications Officer, Joe O’Donnell, who comes to us from the Victorian Society where he was responsible for media strategy. Less than a week in he’s already settling in brilliantly and will be taking over Update from the next issue. Many thanks to Ian Baxter (Alliance Trustee) for keeping it running so effectively in the meantime.’
