Welcomes
Early April we welcomed Kate Goode and Martin Crage, Site Cleaners, to our Cleaning & Porterage team. Both bring many years of commercial cleaning experience.
Josh Cuthbert joined our Enterprise as Head Chef/Team Manager (Production). Josh has over 10 years’ experience in the catering industry including a wealth of kitchen management experience from previous roles.
Last month we also welcomed a number of casual colleagues in our Car Park, Enterprise and Historic Character teams.
Looking ahead, in May we will be having Rhi Edwards join our Interpretation & Research team as Interpretation Coordinator. Rhi will be starting a fixed-term contract at the Museum over the next 12 months to support with the Forging Ahead project. Rhi comes from the Stourbridge Glass Museum where they worked as an Assistant Curator.
We also want to congratulate a number of colleagues who, after our most recent Historic Character recruitment, will be taking up permanent posts this month: Ajay Pall, Amit Persaud, Andrea Williams, Bryce Bealey, Matthew Robinson, Geoff Nixon, Sebastian Edwards, Jack Price, Hannah Marrocco-Pearson, Oliver Clee, and Sam Payne.
Farewells
Huw Davis (Project Manager) and Andy Curtis ( Clerk of Works) will sadly be leaving us this month now that the New Historic Town is finally built. Both Huw and Andy’s enthusiasm, dedication and most of all construction knowledge have been central to bringing alive the Museum’s Forging Ahead vision. We extend our sincere thanks to both Andy and Huw for their hard work, patience and perseverance and wish them well in their next venture.
Matt Hunton, Site Cleaner, also left at the end of April after 5 and a half years, to further develop his career in maintenance/carpentry within the social housing sector.
This week, Beki Challoner leaves her role as Visitor Welcome Manager. Beki managed the Museum’s Admissions function over the last 18 months, one of her most notable achievements was supporting and facilitating the opening of the Visitor Welcome Centre. Beki will be relocating to Northampton and taking on a new senior management role at Silverstone Museum.
Our sincere thanks and well wishes to all.
Sadly Departed
Our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of colleagues who sadly departed over the last month:
Sheila Shipman (Historic Character and Friends of BCLM Member, from 1980 to 2019)
