Town appoints chief officer
2:24pm Thursday 7th August 2008
Skipton Town Council has appointed a new chief officer.
Dave Parker, left, who is also town centre manager, has been acting chief officer since November following the departure of Lis Moore.
He joined the council in November last year as its second ever town manager.
Originally from Wakefield, he has lived in Skipton since 2003 when he took over as managing director of Fresh Radio, where he was also a regular presenter.
Before his 10 years in local radio, he spent five years as head of Wakefield District Council's press office.
