On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Nottingham-based charity Footprints CEC has appointed local residential developer Nic Jepson as its new chair of trustees.
Jepson takes over the role from Alison Brooks, a partner at Barratts Solicitors. She will now resume her role as vice-chair.
Jepson has spent much of the past three decades working in the residential development sector for companies such as InLine Property Consultants and Ark Housing Consultancy.
He said: “Having seen the work that a charity similar to Footprints undertakes, I was taken by the commitment of the staff, the dedication of the parents towards their children and the overarching aims and beliefs of the charity.”
