Gareth John acted in the interim role as Director of Communications during a difficult turnaround period at the Agency following the announcement of the Sub-National Review of Economic Development.
We managed the difficult public affairs issues surrounding the new Government policy initiative, and restructured the Marketing and Communications team to align the Agency with the new way of working in the future.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gareth John who has done a superb job as Interim Communications Director in leading the handling of major regional issues, including flooding and foot and mouth through the summer, and playing a major role in accelerating the rate of change in the Communications function.
