All Change for a bright future
We are sorry to announce that Mo Murray Director of Care & Repair (West Leicestershire) Ltd has decided after eighteen years to tender her resignation. Mo will concentrate on new challenges, which will include having more time to travel the canals on her narrow boat and tend to her organic vegetable garden.
During the last eighteen years Mo has been instrumental in driving the organisation forwards to become what we believe to be one of the best HIA’s in the country. Mo’s continued enthusiasm and highly sought advice has been highly utilised and respected by all our funders, contractors, service users, Councillors and of course her staff team
Mo’s last date on site will be the 31st August 2007
....................................................................................................
At the Annual General Meeting (2nd August 2007) Ruth Camamile was duly elected as the new Chairman of the Management Committee for Care & Repair (West Leicestershire) Ltd.
Ruth has a number of interests and passions of which Care and Repair is one, which is very close to her heart.
Ruth is both a Leicestershire County Councillor and Borough Councillor for Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council.
Ruth is looking forwards to a close working relationship with the newly appointed Director and appreciates that he will find it difficult to follow in Mo’s footsteps.
