North East Lincolnshire Council’s Appointments Committee has recommended that Sharon Wroot is appointed as Interim Chief Executive, with effect from June 1.
As reported, Rob Walsh is stepping down as Chief Executive at the end of May after 11 years at the helm – ending a career in local government that spans more than three decades.
Ms Wroot, a qualified accountant, enjoyed a successful career in the private sector before joining North East Lincolnshire Council in 2010. She has since fulfilled a number of senior roles including Chief Finance Officer, Executive Director of Place and Resources, and Deputy Chief Executive.
Ms Wroot said: “I take great pride in the work of everyone within this authority who, along with partners and stakeholders across business and the community, have a true focus on the transformation of our place while at the same time improving opportunities for all our residents.
“There is much work to do, and it is only by continuing this path that we will achieve lasting positive change.
