Liam’s role was initially part of our Collection Care and Management team and latterly part of the Maintenance team. Liam leaves to concentrate on his personal interests and opportunities.
Grant Bird, Head of Audiences & Communications will be leaving the Museum on 11 February 2022 after four years with us.
