Walford and North Shropshire College appoints new principal
A Shropshire college is beginning a new era with the appointment of a principal and chief executive.
Jackie Doodson has been chosen as the new principal of Walford and North Shropshire College.
Mrs Doodson, who worked at Llandrillo College, is replacing Andrew Tyley, who has stepped down after seven years in order to start his own consultancy.
Gillian Richards, chairman of governors at the college, said: "We were extremely fortunate that we had a very strong field of candidates from which to choose, and we are very pleased that Jackie was among them.
"She will bring her extensive experience and knowledge to the role, and we are looking forward to working with Jackie in the months and years ahead."
Mrs Doodson has been principal of Llandrillo College for the last two years, the culmination of four promotions during her time at the college.
Her posts have included being lecturer in business and management; quality manager; faculty director, business, computing and tourism; and vice principal, the last for over six years.
Walford and North Shropshire College has two bases in Shropshire.
