Dan Gascoyne appointed chief executive at Braintree District Council
Braintree District Council has appointed Dan Gascoyne as its new chief executive.
Gascoyne, who has a BSc in Environmental Studies, joins from Colchester Borough Council, where he is currently deputy chief executive and leads Colchester's Corporate, Customer and Environmental services team. He will take over the role in September from Braintree's existing chief executive Andy Wright, who announced his plans for retirement earlier this year.
Gascoyne's public sector experience includes four years as a Director of West London Alliance (WLA), where he led on devolution, major infrastructure projects and commissioning support across adults and children's services and the NHS. Prior to that, he was Head of Public Service Reform at Essex County Council.
Cllr Graham Butland, Leader of Braintree District Council, said:
“We look forward to welcoming Dan to Braintree District Council. His experience working in the public sector in Essex and London will be invaluable for the council to help us deliver the best outcomes for our residents, businesses and communities.”
