Stephen said: “I am privileged to take on the role of Head of Collections at the British Motor Museum. Despite having worked with the collections for many years, I’m still fascinated by the richness of the heritage we have here at Gaydon. It’s a pleasure to be able to play an even greater part in its future and sharing it more widely.
“I’m delighted to welcome Charlotte and Cat to their new roles. Both bring a fresh perspective to how we can develop our collections and programmes. I look forward to working with them and the rest of the talented team here at the Museum, to make our collections even more accessible, engaging and enjoyable for all”.
