HOME has announced the appointments of Pearl & Dean CEO Kathryn Jacob OBE as Chair, alongside new Trustees, Dr Ruth Bromley and Sita McIntosh. They join the existing Board of Trustees at Manchester’s international multi-arts centre and will support HOME’s work in this pivotal time of recovery and in shaping future strategy.

Director and CEO of HOME, Dave Moutrey said: “It is a great pleasure to welcome our new Chair and Trustees to HOME. They bring with them an exceptional set of skills and experience, and all share HOME’s commitments around tackling inequality, supporting health and wellbeing, and developing great artists and art. Throughout the pandemic, the Board has been an incredible support and has encouraged HOME to be ambitious, proactive and creative in its response to events. I look forward to working with each of our new members as we develop our future plans.”

Kathryn Jacob OBE has extensive experience in many areas of the media industry including national newspapers, magazines and radio. She has also run cross-media initiatives that have expanded her role into television, posters, radio and cinema.

       

Dr Ruth Bromley has been a GP for 18 years, spending 12 of those as a partner at a practice serving a diverse community in Wythenshawe. In 2012, Ruth became the lead for Ethics and Law at Manchester Medical School and she is also a Trustee for the Institute of Medical Ethics. Ruth has been part of the MHCC (Manchester Health & Care Commissioning) since its inauguration in April 2017, where she led on neighbourhood transformation at Board level. She has a career-long interest in children’s health, particularly safeguarding. In July 2018, Ruth was appointed as Chair of the MHCC board and board representative for Equality & Diversity and Creative Health, Arts & Wellbeing. Alongside her responsibilities as Chair, she retained her role as Clinical Lead for Homelessness in the city.

Sita McIntosh has over 30 years of sales, marketing and ticketing experience in UK theatre with tenures at venues, agencies and most recently, WhatsOnStage where she was the COO for over seven years. She now works as a freelance consultant for the industry, specialising in audience development and diversification. Sita also sits on the boards of Kiln Theatre in north London and Curve Theatre in Leicester, and recently stepped down as Chair of Tonic Theatre after two terms.
