THE Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity has announced that CEO Bill Hill will retire at the end of March after more than a decade of dedicated service.
Under his leadership, the charity said it has experienced ‘remarkable growth’ both in terms of the number of families helped and the services it offers.
Bill Hill will be succeeded by Sarah Bolton, who brings a wealth of experience to the role having transformed the charitable services being delivered across the construction community over the past five years.
Sarah 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.”
Joint chair of trustees, Edward Naylor and Lyndsey Gallagher, commented, “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.”
In acknowledgement of his achievements, the trustees will be presenting him with the title of honorary vice president, ensuring his ongoing involvement with the charity. He will also be combining a personal passion with his fundraising event experience as he takes responsibility for the growth of the Lighthouse Golf Club.
