Chief executives
Libraries Unlimited, a charity that runs Devon and Torbay’s libraries, has appointed Alex Kittow as its chief executive. He is currently the chief executive of Bristol-based charity, Southmead Development Trust.
Speaking about his new position, he said: “I am hugely excited by this role and the opportunity to help and support Devon and Torbay’s libraries to thrive in every way. I have seen first-hand the impact libraries have had on my own children and acting as a hub for communities and am passionate about the role they play in supporting people at all stages of their lives, from those learning to read to those people using libraries as a place of comfort and companionship.
“I am aware of the challenges faced by library services up and down the country, but Libraries Unlimited has clearly achieved a huge amount in three years and I’m looking forward to driving the organisation forward both to create a more financially sustainable future for libraries whilst continuing to deliver the huge variety of vital services to local communities.”
He will take up the role in June, succeeding Ciara Eastell.
