Heritage Trust for The North West has appointed Network trustee, Michael Guy as its new Chief Executive.
Michael has held key roles in national heritage organisations for the last decade. He has also worked in fields of law and regeneration with a particular focus on grant funding.

Heritage for the North West is the north’s leading heritage and building conservation trust.
The Trust breathes new life into heritage properties which were once at risk and shares them with communities.

Michael Guy said: “I am delighted to be joining a fantastic organisation which protects, preserves and promotes amazing heritage across the region.
