Jacqui Bell Bids Farewell to Salcare; Don Davis Appointed Interim Director of Services
Salcare announces that after 4 years of dedicated service, Jacqui Bell, our Director of Services, will be leaving the organisation in December to pursue new opportunities. We’d like to thank Jacqui for all her hard work over the past years in steering the Salcare ship through some challenging times and wish her all the best for the future.
In light of this transition, we are pleased to announce that Don Davis, currently serving as our Business Development Manager, has been appointed as Interim Director of Services, effective immediately. Don brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the mission, ensuring continuity and stability as we move forward. For any queries or collaboration needs, Don can be reached at don.davis@salcare.org.uk.
At Salcare, our commitment to delivering vital services to our partners, suppliers, and stakeholders remains steadfast. We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to continuing our shared efforts to positively impact lives in the communities we serve.
