Appointment of County Commissioner – Greater Manchester North

Please find below an announcement from the Regional Commissioner which replaces the communication sent earlier from County HQ.


Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Neil Gorton as the new County Commissioner.

Neil is well known to many of you as the District Commissioner for Radcliffe and brings experience and a proven track record of success in two Counties within the North West.  

Neil has a clear plan to ensure that the County achieves the 2018 Vision and, as he has ably demonstrated in Radcliffe District, will be able to provide inspiration and leadership for Greater Manchester North Scout County.

Neil will commence his appointment as County Commissioner (Designate) on 1st January 2012 and County Commissioner on 1 April 2012.  I am sure you will wish to join me in wishing him all the best in his new appointment.

There will of course be opportunity in the coming months for you to say “farewell” and to show your appreciation to John Woolley for all his dedicated work in the County.

Yours in Scouting, 
Chris Harris
Regional Commissioner - North West
