Two directors have been appointed to the Senior Management Team at Wealden District Council.

David Plank has joined as director of Customer & Community Services and Kristina Shaw-Hamilton steps up to become director of Legal, Governance & Strategic Projects.

The new appointments follow Isabel Garden retiring recently and Averil Price is leaving the authority next month.

David has previously worked for Lloyds TSB, Adur & Worthing Council and Horsham DC before moving to Wealden District Council two years ago as head of Customer & Digital Services.

Kristina joined Wealden District Council’s legal services department in 2010 as the authority’s first commercial contracts lawyer.

They join the Corporate Management Team alongside chief executive Trevor Scott and Chris Bending, director of Planning, Policy & Environmental Services.
