“honour and a privilege to serve the  people of Wrexham”

Speaking about the offer of the top spot at Walsall Council, Helen, said:

“Whilst I am clearly delighted to have been offered this position I will nevertheless be very sad to leave Wrexham which has been my home and place of work for the past 6 years. It has been an honour and a privilege to serve the people of Wrexham during this time. My new appointment is expected to begin in the autumn and there’s lots to be getting on with until that time. I will continue to serve Wrexham as I have always done until my very last day with this authority.”

“worked with tireless commitment to Wrexham and its residents”

Cllr Mark Pritchard, Leader of Wrexham Council, said:

“I am extremely pleased for Helen and wish her all the very best in her future role in Walsall. Helen has always worked with tireless commitment to Wrexham and its residents during her time with us. Her work here has seen us through some very challenging financial times and we have been very fortunate to have such an able and talented individual at the head of our authority. I know Helen will continue to work with me to ensure a smooth transition for her expected departure date in the autumn.”
