Tom Stannard, Chief Executive of Salford City Council in Greater Manchester, has been appointed as the new Chair of the Institute of Economic Development (IED) Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

In a long and distinguished career in local government spanning over 25 years, Tom has worked in a variety of senior economic development, regeneration, growth, skills and policy roles at councils across the North of England and London, and is a former Deputy CEO of the UK Learning and Work Institute. He was appointed Chief Executive at Salford City Council in February 2021.<\/p>\n

As a National Spokesperson for SOLACE and a Commissioner for the Living Wage Foundation, and formerly as a Board Director at the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES), Tom has developed a reputation as a nationally recognised specialist in local government, public service reform and delivering inclusive economic growth.<\/p>\n

Tom Stannard<\/p><\/div>\n

A Chartered Surveyor by profession, Tom has been an IED member since 2017 and a Board member since 2019. Following the Institute\u2019s Annual General Meeting on 5th December, Tom replaces outgoing Chair Bev Hurley CBE, who remains on the IED Board of Directors after six years as Chair and two years previously as Vice-Chair.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted to be appointed Chair of the Institute of Economic Development as the pre-eminent UK-wide body representing our diverse profession, and I am keen to build on the impact and growth we achieved under Bev, who has done an absolutely sterling job in driving membership and engagement,\u201d Tom said. \u201cThe IED, as a UK professional body, is totally unique. It represents the group of professions with the highest impact on the national Levelling Up mission. We already have over 1,000 members, both individuals and organisations, and we aspire to double in size as part of ambitious plans for future growth. I have personally seen the benefits as a member, with the IED\u2019s sector-leading advocacy, insight, network and CPD programmes that have supported my development over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The past 12 months has been a reminder of the diversity of economic development: through placemaking, regeneration, town centre management, infrastructure delivery, land and property development, enterprise promotion, business support, inward investment, employability, skills, innovation and other fields of general economic development, demonstrating how IED members support the sector in its widest sense.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat goes even further when you consider the ever growing synergy with professionals in planning, surveying, engineering, highways and transport and other fields, as well as the enormous impact that economic development can have on health and well-being outcomes,\u201d Tom explained. \u201cOur increasingly diverse membership is drawn from local authorities, LEPs, higher education institutions, government departments and consultancies supporting economic development and we aim to expand this further. Promoting greater diversity and inclusion in economic development will be a key priority for me in leading the Institute. I also intend to develop strong partnerships with other professional bodies. That includes on advocacy, public affairs, policy alliances, and giving better access to our excellent CPD offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom continued: \u201cThis is an exciting time for the IED. The top government priority is to fix the economy which our members are right at the heart of delivering. The opportunity to lead, as Chair, a mission to support professionals to build the foundations of future places was very hard to resist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bev Hurley CBE added: \u201cI am delighted to formally welcome Tom as our new Chair. It has been a great privilege to serve the profession, and I am staying on the IED Board as a Director to continue to do so. I look forward to supporting Tom, Board and IED members as we move into our 40th year as a successful professional body.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
