Deborah Cadman said “I am delighted we have found such a high quality officer to lead on our finance agenda, which is so vital to our future devolution journey. We can change people’s lives for the better if we seize the opportunities in front of us and we want the best people around us to do that.” 

Pearce said “Solid foundations have been laid by Mark Taylor who has led the teams recently on an interim basis and I wish him well in continuing his work with one of our valued constituent authorities, the City of Wolverhampton Council"

The WMCA is also currently recruiting for a strategic director of housing & regeneration and a director of skills & productivity.
