Sefton Council has announced Philip Porter as its new Chief Executive.
The new man at the helm of the council will be paid more than £150,000 a year.
Leader of the Council, Cllr Ian Maher, as Chair of the Employment Procedure Committee provided Sefton’s Councillors with a briefing and recommendation that the Council approve the appointment of Philip Porter as Chief Executive.
Speaking about his appointment, Philip Porter said: “I am very excited, and feel enormously privileged, to have been offered this opportunity. I have a connection to the local area; my sister and her family moved to Crosby in 2013, and so I have been visiting the borough for the last 10 years and enjoying what Sefton has to offer. I am looking forward to seeing much more in the coming years.
“I have been really impressed by the Council’s commitment to improve core services now, particularly Children’s Services, as well as its ambition for the future, from Bootle to Southport. I am excited to meet and work closely with new colleagues, Councillors, partners, and residents because I am passionate about the difference we can make, working together, in Sefton.”
Philip is currently Corporate Director of Adult Social Care and Health for Brent Council. He has worked for Brent Council since 2011 and has carried out several senior management roles. Philip will be relocating to take the helm at Sefton once the current Chief Executive, Dwayne Johnson, retires over the summer, after more than 4 decades in local government.
