Change at the top of city musuem trust

A NEW boss is set to lead a museum trust.

The Board of the Mary Rose Trust has announced that Dominic Jones, current chief operating officer, has been appointed as the new chief executive.

He will take over from current chief executive Helen Bonser-Wilson from the end of March.

Mr Jones said: ‘Having worked closely with Helen over the last two years I am honoured to be taking over responsibility for this worldclass attraction and leading her dedicated team of staff and volunteers.’

Mary Rose chairman Alan Lovell added: ‘We are delighted to have been able to appoint such an excellent successor to Helen internally and are confident that Dominic will lead the Mary Rose forward very positively.

‘This news will bring muchneeded continuity as the Mary Rose forges a path through the continuing Covid-19 challenges.’
