The Board of Trustees and City & Guilds Group colleagues all wish to thank Chris for the significant contribution he has made to the organisation over the past 12 years and we wish him well for the future.

“Taking immediate effect, the Trustees have asked Kirstie Donnelly, current MD of City & Guilds, to become interim Group CEO as we take steps to appoint a permanent replacement.”

Sir John Armitt, Chair City & Guilds of London Institute

I’ve decided now is the right time for me to step down as CEO of @CityGuildsGroup and get on with doing something different. It has been an honour to serve as CEO of such a fabulous, purpose drive organisation and I know I am leaving the Group in capable hands with @K_DonnellyMD.
