Kevin McAlpine
CEO
Since March 2009 when I joined the organisation I have been totally focused on supporting the need for change to fully endorse and support the recovery agenda. My back ground may appear unconventional having had an extensive business career within a diverse commercial sector. I have always had a strong ethos on service delivery, people development and supporting change. Within these changing times that we now operate in, we have to deliver the front line services that are in demand and our whole tile are fully committed to do so and I am proud to lead the way and provide clear direction.
