Bristol goes headless
OrchestrasThe newly restored Bristol Beacon (formerly Colston Hall) is losing both its chairman and chief executive.
Board chair Simon Chapman will be replaced by broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby. CEO Louise Mitchell will leave in July; her job will be advertised.
Clearly not a happy ship. What went wrong?
This isn’t news at all. Louise Mitchell has quietly said for some time that she would leave once the refurb project was complete. And the job is *already* being advertised.
TrevorB – there is no ‘not a happy ship’ issue going on here. Louise hasn’t made any secret of her plan, and a change of chair – with a replacement sorted – happens occasionally.
Dimbleby looks like the late great Leonard Rossiter.
