The re-structuring at senior management level has taken a step forward with the appointment of five Group Heads
The appointments are part of the "Towards a Sustainable Future" programme designed to make Spelthorne a leaner, self-funding Council, whilst protecting the services that people value and rely upon.
The changes mean that senior management will be better aligned with the political leadership and financial savings will also be realised from the streamlining.
The decision of the Appointments Panel, comprising of Councillors Harvey, Harman, Barnard, Doran, (also supported by Councillor Madams), was unanimous.
The five appointed are:
- Sandy Muirhead - Commissioning and Transformation
- Jackie Taylor - Neighbourhood Services
- Karen Sinclair and Deborah Ashman - Community Wellbeing
- Heather Morgan - Regeneration and Growth
- Linda Norman - Finance and Customer Relations
Roberto Tambini, Spelthorne's Chief Executive, said: "This was a most rigorous and fair selection process with councillors being impressed with the calibre of our internal applicants. We will all be working hard to ensure a smooth transition".
The Group Heads will take up their new roles this week.
