THE chairman and directors of the Ledbury Area Development Trust (LADT) are delighted to announce the appointment of Clive Jupp to the board and look forward to introducing him at the Old Cottage Hospital for the forthcoming LADT AGM, which provides the opportunity to update members and supporters of the year's successes.

Clive is a well-known figure in Ledbury, having twice been elected town mayor and always visible helping at charitable events, including the August bank holiday carnival. Clive lives with his family in Ledbury, having previously lived in Surrey. His computing background saw him working in the splendid offices of the Bank of England and latterly for an organisation in Malvern.

LADT chairman Stuart Houghton said he was delighted to welcome Clive as part of the dedicated team that provides a superb service to the community. In response, Clive expressed his keenness to join the organisation, which has clearly built a sound reputation and model for excellence in the town and beyond.
