New appointments to the management team

As you may have seen in the email I sent out last week, two new people have been appointed to the management team.

Colette Backwell has been appointed to the new post of Assistant Chief Executive and Karen Wiles has been appointed as Head of Legal and Governance.

These are important posts in our management team as we drive towards becoming the best council in Scotland by 2012.

Colette joins us from the Scottish Government where she has been Deputy Director for three years. She has lived in Aberdeenshire for the past 20 years, having been brought up and educated in Belfast.

Karen is originally from Dundee, studied at Aberdeen University and started her career as a trainee solicitor with Grampian Regional Council. She has worked at Moray Council for the past 13 years where she is currently principal solicitor (litigation and licensing) for Moray Council.

Colette and Karen are likely to join the management team at the beginning of 2010.
