We are pleased to announce the appointment of a new Chief Executive to join our staff team.

Christopher Duff took up his post formally on Tuesday 2nd January 2018.  He was previously the Chief Executive for Rotherham Hospice where he increased the positive profile of the Hospice and the number of patients it supported.  Prior to that, he was the Workforce Director for MacIntyre Charity. MacIntyre is a very well regarded provider of support services to Children and Adults with learning disabilities.  

Julia Faulkner, Chair of the Board of Trustees commented.  “Chris Duff brings a wealth of relevant experience to our organisation.  He has built a career at a senior level in health and care and is well used to leadership roles in the charitable sector. He also has good experience in the commercial and public sectors.  We are all very much looking forward to welcoming him to the team and to working with him.”

Julia also paid tribute to Liam Condron, who is retiring as Chief Executive after 25 years, saying “It has been an absolute pleasure working with Liam who has been an outstanding leader for our organisation, providing inspiration and astute direction helping Age UK Northamptonshire through many stages of development until now, where we are providing more services to more people in our community than ever before.”

Christopher Duff also commented: “I am delighted to be taking up this new challenge.  Age UK Northamptonshire is a well-respected and well-loved charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for people and I am sure the role will be a very fulfilling one.”
