Marlborough District Councillors have reappointed Council CEO Andrew Besley in his role for a further three years.

The Local Government Act requires that the job must be advertised at least every seven years.

Mayor Alistair Sowman says the role was publicly advertised nationwide and several applications were received. Councillors met yesterday to consider the job applications.

The Mayor said Mr Besley has led the Council management team for the last 12 years and, given his skills and experience, it was not a difficult decision for councillors to make.

“Andrew Besley is one of the most experienced council CEOs in the country and his management and administrations skills are widely recognised within local government circles. This Council is fortunate to be able to retain a manager with this depth of experience and understanding of the issues in our region,” Mr Sowman said.

The three-year contract extension runs from December this year.
