Lindsey Lodge Hospice Chief Executive Karen Griffiths said: “I’d like to congratulate Andrew and Karen on their new roles and pay tribute to Paul Clark and Michael for their dedication and support; we’re delighted they will remain on the Board.”

She added: “Lindsey Lodge Hospice is celebrating 25 years of care this year, which is a significant milestone in its history.

“We’re now on the journey of securing the Hospice for its next chapter, where strategic direction and strong leadership will underpin our success.

“With this in mind, we welcome the appointment of all of these new members to the Lindsey Lodge senior team. They bring with them a wealth of experience from a variety of sectors, to inform and guide our decisions going forward.”
