As well as working alongside the charity’s Director of Fundraising & Communications, Sewell will work closely with the Treasurer and Finance Administrator to oversee the charity’s financial health.

As he takes up his new role, the Greenfingers Charity says farewell to Sally Jenkins, Director of Finance & Resource. As Jenkins looks forward to her retirement, her role will be incorporated into that of the Operation Director.

Sue Allen, Greenfingers Chairman, said: “Our thanks must first go to Sally. As her time at Greenfingers draws to a close, we would like to offer her our sincere thanks for her work and dedication during her tenure. She has been a valuable part of the team and will be much missed by us all.

And the warmest of welcomes to Neil who, having been involved with the charity since 2016, truly understands our values as an organisation. Undoubtedly, his experience and knowledge will be an asset to our future development, helping to nurture our relationships with hospices, garden designers and landscape contractors.”
