The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity has named its new chief executive officer (CEO).
Sarah Bolton will succeed incumbent CEO, Bill Hill, who is set to retire after more than a decade of service on 31 March.
Lighthouse said it had experienced remarkable growth in terms of services and families helped under Hill’s leadership.
Trustees Edward Naylor and Lyndsey Gallagher added: “Bill’s leadership has been instrumental in significantly growing the charity and guiding it towards its mission of providing essential support to those in need within the construction industry.
“His passion, commitment, and tireless efforts have left an indelible mark on our charity and the lives of those individuals we have been able to support through difficult times.”
Hill will be appointed honorary vice president of the charity.
Bolton, who Lighthouse said in the past five years has transformed delivery of the charity’s services, will take up her new role as CEO from 1 April.
She said: “I am extremely proud and excited to lead a charity that makes such an impact on people’s lives.
“As new CEO, I am responsible for the stewardship of our charity going forward and building on the significant achievements and growth during Bill’s tenure.
“Achieving our vision that no construction worker or their family feels alone in a crisis comes with challenges, but those challenges bring out the best in our fantastic team and inspire us to deliver the best possible support to our diverse construction community.”
