Our Leadership

At West Berkshire Council, our leadership team is a group of dedicated individuals committed to serving our community. With a blend of experience, insight, and a collaborative approach, they work together to ensure that the council meets the needs of our residents in the most effective and compassionate way possible.
Our leadership is divided into two key areas: political leadership, provided by our elected councillors who represent the voice of the community and shape our strategic direction; and internal leadership, carried out by our dedicated officers who manage the day-to-day operations of the council. Together, we are united in our purpose to make a positive difference in the lives of everyone in West Berkshire.

We invite you to meet the leaders who are here to serve, listen, and work alongside you to build a brighter future for all.
