Mark Prisk, Minister for Business, announced on 26 July 2010 continued terms of appointment to the Board of Yorkshire Forward. Mark Lovell, Cllr Mark Kirk and Linda Pollard OBE JP DL will serve from 14 December until the RDA closes. The announcement will help ensure that the Regional Development Agency retains valuable industry and organisational knowledge as it continues with a multi million pound programme of work throughout 2010/11.

The Minister commented: “As we move toward a new framework for our regional economies, it is important that the development agencies are equipped with the leadership to ensure the transition period is a smooth one. The skills and experience of these board members will be a valuable asset during this time and I hope they will continue to work with us to ensure an efficient evolutionary process.”

Terry Hodgkinson Yorkshire Forward Chairman said: I am pleased to see the reappointment of Cllr Mark Kirk and Mark Lovell to the Yorkshire Forward Board and welcome the extension of service for Linda Pollard. Our Board Members understand the Yorkshire and Humber picture, aren’t afraid of making tough decisions that will support Yorkshire and Humber’s continued economic growth and can provide much needed support to our staff during this very difficult time of closure. Their organisational knowledge, industry expertise and leadership will be invaluable in what is an incredibly challenging time for the organisation and the wider region.”
