The charity’s chair Kevin Howard added: “It was a highly competitive field and candidates were put through an intense interview process to find the person that was right to lead the charity though its new strategy and beyond. In Jeremy we’ve found someone who is more than suited to the role.
“He brings with him a wealth of charity experience but, above that, an understanding of what it takes to make a charity like ours work.
"He’s familiar with the area, is experienced in retail and income generation and, what impressed us most, was his consideration for the people that make Prospect Hospice what it is; our staff, volunteers, patients and community that supports our work.”.
