Commenting on Debby’s appointment, UKWA CEO Clare Bottle said, “UKWA is growing rapidly, with more new initiatives underway for 2024 than ever before. Not least, we are implementing major changes in our digital systems, and Debby’s experience in leading that project will be invaluable. She is a highly capable professional and is already proving a great asset to the team.”
