“I’m thrilled to join the team at Gunnersbury Park & Museum. It’s an honour to take on the care, curation and programme management for such a cherished community asset. I look forward to working with the Gunnersbury team to build on our public engagement programme and introduce Gunnersbury’s unique blend of cultural heritage, natural beauty and recreational opportunities to new audiences; while maintaining our strong ties with the local community.”
