NEW EXECUTIVE OFFICER ANNOUNCED FOR AMNENITY FORUM

Following the decision of John Moverley to step down as chairman from the end of June 2022, the Board of the Amenity Forum has announced the appointment of Peter Corbett (pictured above) as its executive officer from 1st July 2022.

As part of a review of its structure, the Forum says the intention is to appoint a chairman of both the Forum and the Board as a separate post drawn from its own membership. This appointment will be announced shortly.
 
Whilst John is stepping down from his current role, he will provide some support for Peter in the interim particularly in terms of government affairs and Kate Hopkins will continue to provide full administrative support and have responsibilities for communications.

The Foum says Peter Corbett is an independent consultant with much experience within the amenity sector and strong technical knowledge. He says he is very much looking forward to the challenges ahead.

Jim Croxton, a Forum board member, said, "We are delighted to welcome Peter. During the 13 years in which the Forum has operated under its current structure, much progress has been made and it has a recognised key role across the UK in promoting best practice in the management of amenity and sports spaces. Peter is the ideal person to now take matters forward and move us into the next phase of development at a crucial time of change for the sector."
