A former newspaper editor and current National Leader of Governance has been appointed as the new chair of Hull College.
Rob Lawson will start in the role tomorrow, succeeding Lesley Davies following the conclusion of her 20-month term.
Lawson will lead the college alongside chief executive Debra Gray who joined in April and became the college’s sixth leader in two years. The appointments follow a troublesome period that involved FE Commissioner intervention, an investigation into spending at the college, and the closing down of the college’s Goole campus.
Over the past few years the college has appointed a raft of new governors and conducted a review of its governance led by a National Leader of Governance (NLG).
