Place Marketing Manager, Richard Baker said:

“We received some excellent applications, and interviewed four fantastic candidates. It was a really difficult decision, as each candidate brought something unique, and their passion, interest and enthusiasm for helping boost Redcar and Cleveland really shone through.”
