The Executive Manager for Governance advised Members that, following a successful recruitment process involving Members of the Joint Appointments & Disciplinary Committee, Christine Marshall had been appointed as the Executive Director of Commercialisation.  As this post was also identified as the Statutory Chief Finance Officer under S151 of the Local Government Act 1972, the Council was asked to confirm the appointment.  Christine was a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy and therefore held one of the recognised qualifications listed at paragraph 5.1.1 of the report.

RESOLVED that Christine Marshall be confirmed as the Section 151 Officer and Executive Director of Commercialisation for Breckland District Council and South Holland District Council.
