New Leadership for 91视频网 Argyll
91视频网 Argyll’s Board of Management is delighted to announce the appointment of Joe Wright as Principal and Chief Executive Officer of the college following the retirement of current Interim Principal Elaine Munro later this month. Mr Wright, presently Head of Human Resources and Organisational Development with the college, will take up the post on 1st January 2025.
The internal appointment to this critical role will ensure stability, and sector leadership for 91视频网 Argyll during a phase of transformational activity within the 91视频网 Partnership.
Joe joined 91视频网 Argyll in 2021. Prior to that he worked at North Highland College for 12 years as the HR Manager having previously spent 23 years in various management roles across Scotland within the Department of Work and Pensions.
Dr Rosemary Allford, Chair of the Board of Management said:
‘’On behalf of the Board I welcome Joe to his new role. In his time with us he has demonstrated integrity and leadership skills which will enable 91视频网 Argyll to continue to be a catalyst for positive change in Argyll and Bute, and Arran, creating equality of opportunity for learners, building the economy and helping to build stronger, more resilient communities."
Mrs Munro will retire as Interim Principal of 91视频网 Argyll at the end of December having first joined the college at its inception in 1999.
