West Lindsey Appoints New Chief Executive

A new Chief Executive has been appointed by West Lindsey District Council.

A meeting of the authority on Wednesday confirmed the appointment of 48- year- old mother of two Manjeet Gill who is expected to start her new job in May.

Leader of the Council, Councillor Adam Duguid said: "The selection panel was faced with the difficult job of selecting a candidate from a very strong short-list, but Mrs Gill was the unanimous choice."

Leader of the Opposition, Councillor Reg Shore added: "The two-day selection process was very rigorous but I am sure an excellent choice has been made and that the whole district will benefit."

A delighted Mrs Gill said: "I am extremely proud to have been chosen to be West Lindsey's Chief Executive. This is a district with many strengths and challenges and I am looking forward to working with councillors and officers to build on the strengths and to meet the challenges.

I was attracted to the job because the Council has a good track record and I am looking forward to developing the towns in the district and improving the rural economy."

Mrs Gill's local government career began in environmental health with Leicester City Council. She has worked as Chief Executive for Salisbury District Council and her other senior posts include roles in Regeneration and Partnerships at Northamptonshire County Council.

She has also worked as a professional adviser on public sector leadership and on the role of the voluntary and community sector in society.

Away from work Mrs Gill enjoys running in the countryside and cycling.

Mrs Gill succeeds Duncan Sharkey who has left the Council to join Worcester City Council as managing director.
