Liz Bromley: Chair.

Liz Bromley, is our new Chair was appointed on the 15th July 2024.
Liz grew up on a farm in Cheshire and studied English at university. She has spent her career advocating for the arts and humanities in education, working primarily in universities such as the Open University, Salford, Goldsmiths, and UCLan. In 2019, Liz was appointed as CEO of NCG, the UK’s only national Further Education group. Working in this sector has given her extensive experience in leading within an underfunded industry.

Since relocating to Barnard Castle, Liz has thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Witham and seeing the range of ways in which this fantastic asset contributes to Barney life.
