Nigel brings a wealth of experience having held senior positions with several different UK charities. His most recent role before joining the Trust was as Director of Operations with the equine charity, Brooke, where he also served as interim CEO.
Nigel’s experience and interest in nature will help to guide the Trust’s work over the coming months.
“I am passionate about the environment and the natural world, spending as much time as I can getting out and enjoying our local wildlife. I feel deeply honoured and proud to be given the opportunity to work with Avon Wildlife Trust as the interim CEO and very much look forward to the next few months”
The start of Nigel’s tenure overlapped by a few days with our outgoing CEO, Ian Barrett, which has helped with a smooth transition.
The Chair of Avon Wildlife Trust, Lara Burch, said,
“I am delighted to welcome Nigel Wilson as our Interim Chief Executive Officer.
"Nigel has served as both Chief Executive and Interim Chief Executive in previous roles, which is invaluable experience and helps to bring continuity of leadership. With a busy and ambitious work programme, Nigel will support the senior leadership team with the next steps in the delivery of our 2030 Strategy.”
Recruitment of the next permanent CEO for the Trust is underway, with a closing date of November 27th.
