Imagineer Chief Executive steps down

Founding member and Chief Executive JANE HYTCH is stepping down from Coventry's outdoor arts organisation Imagineer.

Hytch leaves to begin "semi-retirement" at the year-end, leading the Creative Explorers programme in Nuneaton and Bedworth with Imagineer's new Creative Director and CEO, ANGUS MACKECHNIE, who was appointed in August.

Hytch said: "I am immensely proud of what Imagineer has achieved over the last 18 years, playing a part in the growing cultural sector in Coventry, and through the meaningful engagements we’ve had with the people of Coventry."

Chair JOHN MCGUIGAN commented: “Quality of life, with all that means in terms of creative arts, heritage, sport and leisure, is what feeds people’s souls and their individual and collective commitment to ‘make a difference’.

“Not many people can really say they changed a city and its people. Jane is someone who can!”
