Adam Clerkin is to step down from the role of chairman of the Shipley Towns Fund board, which he’s held since the board’s inception in 2020.
Head of Operations for Carnaud Metalbox Engineering, Adam’s role was initially to lead the board in identifying and agreeing the regeneration vision through the creation of an investment plan.
During his tenure, the role of the board shifted into one of monitoring the delivery of multi-million-pound projects such as the new Shipley Sustainability Hub, alongside the Community Grants programme, and the Capital Assistance to Business Growth grants.
He said: “It has been a privilege to hold the position of chair of the Shipley Towns Fund. I feel very proud of what we have achieved for the town and surrounding area.
“It was a particular pleasure to be part of the launch of the new Shipley Sustainable Hub recently. To see it go from spades in the ground to the incredible facility we now have, for years to come was very special. Now is the right time to give someone else the opportunity to deliver some of these incredible projects.
“I’d like to thank everyone who I have worked with over the years. I have had the pleasure of working with some brilliant people from the teams at Shipley Town Council and Bradford Council through to our sponsors, and I have been fully supported by the hard-working members of the board.
“I am confident that their incredible work will continue and that these excellent projects will be delivered for Shipley, making a real difference to people’s lives.”
An interim replacement will be selected next month.
