Beleaguered Northamptonshire CC has chosen former Trafford MBC boss Theresa Grant to be its new chief executive after a recruitment process carried out with the support of the Local Government Association.
In a message to staff, seen by The MJ, leader Matt Golby wrote: 'I am delighted to be able to announce that we have selected a candidate who I have no doubt has the experience, skills, leadership and expertise which we require here in Northamptonshire.
'There was an exceptional field of candidates for this role and we now look forward to the next two years and transition to unitary governance with such a distinguished chief executive in role.'
Ms Grant departed form her job at Trafford just last week after nine years at the authority, seven as chief executive, following a change of political control at the local elections in May.
