Liverpool Council’s new interim chief executive officially has officially taken up her post this week.
Almost two months after her appointment to the beleaguered local authority was confirmed, Theresa Grant has stepped into the hot seat left vacant by the resignation of former boss Tony Reeves earlier this year. The former Northamptonshire County Council chief will take up the role at the Cunard Building until May next year.
Her appointment was formally ratified by members of the council when they met earlier this month, with Ms Grant’s experience lauded by Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson. In July, former chief executive Tony Reeves announced his resignation after four years in post as the council's most senior officer.
