Welcomes
In November, we were delighted to welcome several new colleagues to the Museum;
We are delighted that Lisa Edwards has returned to the Museum as Team Manager (Historic Characters) after spending time in a managerial role at the Silverstone Museum.
We are pleased to congratulate Jessica Bentley, who has been successful in securing the role of Team Manager (Historic Characters). Jessica has been engaged as a Historic Character since 2022 and its wonderful to see her progress into this role. Both Lisa and Jessica will be joining us next week.
We also welcomed a number of new casual colleagues across our front-facing teams, including Historic Characters, Enterprise Team Members, and Site Cleaners. Some of these new starters were recommended by friends and family to help us cover the busy October half-term period – an initiative that worked brilliantly and enabled us to avoid using agency staff. We are delighted to share that these colleagues will be staying with us beyond October, and we are excited to have them as part of the team.
If you see any of our new colleagues around the site, please do say hello and offer them a warm welcome.
Sadly Departed
It is with great sadness that we have to share that former colleague, John Crompton, passed peacefully on 23rd October 2025. John had previously worked for Black Country Museum for 10 years in the role of Keeper.
