A new Haverhill town centre manager has now been appointed. Tina Hanks, currently Town Centre Manager for Tottenham, in London, will take up her post on 3 June 2008.

The job is funded by St Edmundsbury Borough Council with local business and Haverhill Town Council representatives involved in the recruitment process. Ms Hanks will work closely with town centre businesses, town and borough councillors and the Haverhill Partnership to help improve the town centre’s offer.

Ms Hanks said,
“I'm delighted to be joining the businesses, residents and colleagues in Haverhill at this exciting time. My challenge will be to ensure we have a town centre which is economically vibrant, is a really pleasant place to be and which in all respects is of a standard expected of a growing successful town like Haverhill. I look forward to making my contribution to help make Haverhill a preferred shopping destination for residents and visitors alike”.

Cllr Nigel Aitkens, Cabinet member with responsibility for Haverhill said,
“We are very pleased that Ms Hanks has accepted this key post. We believe we have found an exceptional person to help realise Haverhill’s potential and aspirations. Tina will bring experience, energy and great enthusiasm to this key position.”

Haverhill's last town centre manager was Nick Martin who resigned from the position some months ago.
