Appointing a new Chair is not the only change to the make-up of our boards and committees.

Appointing a new Chair is not the only change to the make-up of the LEP’s boards and committees.

Long-serving Deputy Chair David Dexter retired in September and has been replaced by two Deputy Chairs: Pat Doody of NatWest (private sector) and Councillor Philip Jackson of North East Lincolnshire Council (public sector). Pat is currently serving as interim Chair pending the appointment of a new incumbent.                          

Zoe King of Epix Media was previously a co-opted Director but is now a Director, SME champion for the Board and digital lead.

New to the board is Alric Blake, Chief Operating Officer at the global animal feed company Alltech which has a base in Stamford.

Gary Headland will join the Chair, the two Deputy Chairs and Dean Fathers as the fifth member of the Appointments Committee.
