We were literally just about to publish this story below to announce that Steve Beynon was going for the position of Chief Exec of the IW Council …. when we were told the CP had the details (based on the councils press release, we assume) of the next Chief exec role … as Steve Beynon!
More soon, but until then here’s the article we were going to run …
Item 6 on the agenda for the Full Council meeting next Wednesday relates to the vacancy for Chief Executive for the Isle of Wight.
6. APPOINTMENT OF A NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE
To consider the recommendation from the Appointments Panel
As reported in the CP today, Director of Adult Services, Sarah Mitchell is one of the applicants for the top role. We heard this rumour last week but forget to share it with you, dear reader.
We have also heard that the other internal applicant is none other than the man who presented Pugh and Wells with the three fabulous options for school reforms, Director of Children’s Services, Steve Beynon!
BTW, good to see we’ve got such a high result on Google for “Steve Beynon”, being beaten only by the EduWight Web site.
Update: Steve Beynon has accepted the offer of the role, but it still has to be ratified by the Full Council next week.
