Before this thread disappears forever, I'll note that the changes involve Matt Mallinder. I know nothing about the charity's HQ but this seems sudden - apparently no succession plan - and talk of "support family members with their care" has a hint of bad news, so I hope I'm reading too much into this and all's well.

IIRC he started what he describes as a "ride" running the CTC shop and is leaving as director of influence and engagement. Who dreams up these titles? (The director of roles and titles?)

Matt the mats.

Anyway, all the best.

Matt was who I reported to and liaised with when I ran what was the CTC shop on a franchise basis out of Geoffrey Butler/Bike Plus; I believe he was indeed running the shop when it was still run 'in house'; I was the first franchisee before 'Evans' then 'Wiggle'. I always found him to be as passionate, vocational, professional and hard working as anyone. I have the upmost respect for him and wish him well in whatever comes next.

Thanks for that. When I began to read your post, I thought you might have glad tidings, as they say.

I hope no news = good news and I wish MM all the best for 2023
