WorldSkills UK’s chief executive Dr Neil Bentley-Gockmann is stepping down from his role after seven years at the helm.
The organisation – an independent charity which supports young people in global Olympics-style skills competition – said a smooth transition has been planned.
Bentley-Gockmann will step down as chief executive in May, but WorldSkills UK confirmed he will remain a member of the board through a transition period.
Taking the interim chief executive post before a permanent successor is appointed will be Ben Blackledge, currently deputy chief executive with eight years at WorldSkills on his CV.
