Managers play a key role in sharing accurate and timely information with their teams. To support this, there are resources available to help cascade key messages through team briefings and everyday conversations.
If you manage people, please use these materials and share updates with your teams as soon as possible to help avoid confusion or misinformation. These resources are also available on the LGR intranet pages.
If you need information in another format, or have suggestions for improving future sessions, please contact the Internal Communications team at internal.communications@lancashire.gov.uk.
Senior management updates
We’re delighted to welcome three new senior leaders to the county council.
Emma Ashworth will be joining us in April as Director of People Services, bringing a wealth of experience in HR and organisational development from across central government and policing.
A lifelong Lancashire resident, Emma has shared how meaningful it is to take on this role and is looking forward to meeting colleagues and building on the great work already happening.
We’re also pleased to welcome Nabeel Chaudhry, who joined us in January as Director of Children’s Services Reform and Professional Standards.
Nabeel brings extensive experience in children’s social care and safeguarding and will lead delivery of the Families First reform agenda. We’re excited to have him on board as we continue strengthening our support for children, families and young people across Lancashire.
Subject to Full Council approval, Gary Fielding will join us in late spring as our new Corporate Director of Finance.
He joins the council from North Yorkshire Council, where he has served as Corporate Director of Resources for over 13 years.
Alongside extensive and highly relevant finance experience, Gary brings significant first-hand experience of local government reorganisation, having played a key role during major LGR changes in North Yorkshire.
This background makes his appointment particularly timely, and he will play a vital role in supporting the organisation and driving our ambitions for Lancashire as we navigate the period ahead.
