Hi All,
In case you have not seen this. Although Clare has been in Worcestershire for 7
years she only took over as Chief Executive in the Spring of 2014 - just three
years ago.
Best wishes
Michael

Dear colleagues,
I am writing to inform you that after 7 years at Worcestershire County Council,
I will be leaving to take up the position of Chief Executive of the
Universities and Colleges Admissions Service, UCAS.
I leave Worcestershire County Council in the hands of a brilliant team.
Worcestershire is a council I have been proud to lead and I will miss those
staff whom I have had the pleasure of working with and leading in our daily
endeavour to do the best for our residents.
In recent years we have benefited from over £100m of infrastructure investment.
We have the fastest growing economy in England, significant innovation in our
work with partners such as West Mercia Police, District Councils and our health
colleagues. Together we have established a track record in delivering
commercial and digital change on behalf of residents.
I am sad to be leaving but I am looking forward to a new challenge and the
opportunity of leading UCAS for the benefit of young people, working with
education providers to ensure participation is widened, retention and
satisfaction maximised and that the experience enriches and enables our young
people to achieve their potential and make the best contribution to society and
our economy they can.
My leaving date is to be confirmed but it is likely to be the end of June. The
arrangements for after my departure will be put in place following next month's
County Council elections. After a wonderful seven years I do wish my brilliant
team and all who work for the residents of Worcestershire all the best in the
future.
All the best,
Clare
