Mark Gardner is to become the new chief executive of the Community Security Trust, replacing David Delew, who has announced he would stand down from the position in August.
Mr Gardner – who is currently the Director of Communications - said he was “deeply honoured” to be taking up the role at the CST which he would “lead on behalf of our entire Jewish community”.
Praising the organisation’s work and its “incredible volunteer security teams” across the country, Mr Gardner added: “I have fought against antisemitism, racism and extremism since I was teenager.’’
Outgoing chief executive Mr Delew said that after working for the organisation for nearly 30 years, he had taken the “incredibly difficult” decision to step down.
