A partner in a Manchester law firm will be the new chief executive of the London Board for Shechita.
Avrom Topperman will join the board after the festivals and will be in the post full-time from January. He will work in transition with the outgoing chief executive, Mark Goldwater, who is making aliyah.
Mr Topperman gained a law degree from Manchester University after three years on yeshivot. He joined the law firm, Keoghs, in 2005.
He is a founder member and past chairman of Prestwich Orthodox Jewish Community Council, governors' chair of Manchester Mesivta High School and chair of trustees of the city's Beis Yaacov High School Academy.
