Neil Lovell is now the charity’s permanent CEO
The Printing Charity has confirmed Neil Lovell’s appointment as the charity’s permanent chief executive and secretary, following his interim role since February.
During his time as interim chief executive, Neil Lovell’s focus has been on meeting people in the print industry and the charity’s partners, as well as getting to know the staff and trustees, and looking at the direction of the charity. He has 27 years of experience in senior communications, marketing, fundraising, and management roles.
‘The Printing Charity has a proud heritage and very clear aims of promoting independence and furthering education,’ said Mr Lovell. ‘I have been looking at how we can make it easier for individuals needing our support, and the industry we represent to connect with us. It’s clear we cannot do everything on our own but we have great potential to build strong partnerships with the industry and other bodies with similar aims to ours.’
Jon Wright, The Printing Charity’s chairman, said, ‘Neil brings a wealth of experience from the commercial and not for profit sectors to the Chief Executive’s role to drive the charity forward and has the full support of the trustees as he works with us to refocus our work and deliver greater impact.’
