New Chief to lead Cultural Services in Poole

The Borough of Poole has recently appointed Kevin McErlane as the new Service Unit Head to lead the Council's Culture and Community Learning Unit.

Kevin is currently the Communications and Development Manager for the Museum and Archive Service at Reading Borough Council. He will be leaving Reading to join Poole in April.

Reading Borough Council is well known for its forward thinking and community involvement in the provision of a high class Museum Service. Kevin will bring with him the skills to enable the Council to further develop a full and exciting range of cultural activities to Poole residents and to work closely with partner organizations such as Lighthouse and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

Kevin said: "I am really looking forward to working at Poole. It's a beautiful town and there is a lot of potential to enhance and develop the Arts and Culture by building on the fantastic work that is already being done."

Kevin will be key in guiding the redevelopment and changes at the Waterfront Museum and in taking plans forward to forge strong links between Poole Adult Learning and the Learning and Skills Council.

Jan Thurgood, Policy Director, Borough of Poole, said: "Kevin's creativity greatly impressed the interview panel and his skills and experience in working with employees to achieve positive and innovative changes in services, will be an asset to the Borough. He is passionate in his interest in this area and in the wider theme of enabling all to engage in learning. We look forward to welcoming him to Poole."
