CIWM has announced today (25 July) that Dr Colin Church will be stepping down as CEO of CIWM at the end of September to take up a new chief executive role, further details of which will be announced shortly.
Before departing, Dr Church will be working with the senior management and CIWM Trustees to complete a CIWM Action Plan to design a refreshed structure, and Sarah Poulter, Group Director of Membership and Funding, will take on the role of interim CEO from 1 October as the plan moves into the implementation phase.
Professor Margaret Bates, Chair of CIWM Executive Committee, said: “CIWM would like to thank Colin for so ably steering CIWM through a period of change and refocus, as a result of which the Institution is in the process of modernising its structure to be more dynamic and responsive, refreshing and improving its membership offer, and prioritising its work to reflect the needs of today’s resource and waste sector.
“We wish Colin well in his new role and we look forward to continuing the work he has initiated to ensure that CIWM is fit for the future.”
