Sector Leaders Back Revolutionary New Approach to Culture Sector Leadership Recruitment
Today, we announce the launch of our Recruitment Champions – a network of outstanding sector leaders backing our revolutionary approach to recruitment for new culture and heritage sector leadership.
Following sector feedback calling for a change to the Executive Search support that is available, we have partnered with a group of senior leaders to deliver a fresh approach focused on value from and for the sector. Centred on a deep knowledge of the nuances of leading in the culture sector, this is Executive Search for the culture sector, by the culture sector.
The group is made up of sector leaders representing the breadth of artforms who will share their expert advice, guidance and recommendations to the Achates team as they work with cultural organisations across the culture and heritage sectors to place outstanding new leaders.
The Recruitment Champions announced today are:
• Gavin Barlow and Annabel Turpin (Co-Directors and Co-Founders, Future Arts Centres) – representing arts centres and multi-artform organisations
• David Collins (Executive Director, Northern Ballet) – representing dance
• Vicky Featherstone (Theatre Director and Leader) – representing theatre
• Melanie Keen (Consultant, Advisor and Curator) – representing the visual arts
• Sandeep Mahal (Deputy Executive Director, Royal Shakespeare Company) – representing the literature sector
• Laura Pye (Director, National Museums Liverpool) – representing museums and archives.
Further Champions will be announced in the coming months.
