Juliet Thompson, NFRC North West Regional Manager said:
"I am highly enthused by the new chair and committee members we now have in place for the North West region. I believe that the combined experience and diversity across the membership will bring fresh input and reinvigorate the understanding of
what NFRC does for the sector, its members and the wider public. There are some new working methods that are being introduced into the region and the new committee members are contributing with ideas and fully supportive to the positive changes required.
The respect and enthusiasm shown towards NFRC by the new committee will help us to reshape and improve on all levels.
It is worth noting, we would like to hear from any like-minded members who are interested in making a difference to the region. I would welcome discussions with any NW Members who might also be interested in joining."
