CIRO Board of Governor Changes

At the end of 2024 Ellie Burrows FCIRO and Tom Joyner ACIRO stepped down from the CIRO Board of Governors and moved onto new ventures.
Ellie has been instrumental, as Chair, in transitioning CIRO from one CEO to another as well as bringing about CIRO’ s first Board elections which happened last year. Tom has also dedicated several years to CIRO supporting the Institution’ s strategic direction in this evolving landscape. We extend our gratitude to both Ellie and Tom and wish them well in their new ventures.
As Ellie and Tom’ s tenures came to an end we welcomed two new faces to the Board. Chris Jackson FCIRO, Managing Director of
TransPennine Express and Jason Wade FCIRO, Regional Director for Northern.
Both Chris and Jason bring vast experience and expertise that will help steer CIRO into its 25th year and beyond.
Commenting on the appointments, Phil Sherratt, CIRO’ s CEO, said:
“ We are excited to have two strong advocates of CIRO joining the Board. Chris and Jason bring a wealth of operating knowledge and experience, and I look forward to working with them as CIRO celebrates its 25th anniversary year and embarks on the next stage of its development”.
