New chief executive for city council

John Barradell

Brighton & Hove City Council has appointed a new chief executive.

John Barradell will take over the role following the retirement of Alan McCarthy earlier this year.

Mr Barradell, 48, comes from Westminster City Council, where he has been Deputy Chief Executive since 2006.

His service in local government follows a 22-year career in various roles in the private sector before joining Westminster City Council in 2002.

Mr Barradell said: “I am absolutely delighted to be asked to lead such an ambitious and innovative organisation in these challenging times. Brighton & Hove City Council is continually improving the way it provides services to residents and I want the organisation to perform even better.” 

Council Leader Mary Mears said: “I’m very pleased to have been involved in John’s selection as I believe the council has got the right person for the job. John’s track record is impressive and I am confident he will bring vision and leadership to the city.

”This was a unanimous decision by the appointing panel, which included the leaders and convenor of all the parties.”

The appointing panel consisted of Cllrs Mary Mears (Con), Brian Oxley (Con), Dee Simson (Con), Gill Mitchell (Lab), Bill Randall (Green) and Paul Elgood (Lib Dem).

The appointment is subject to a formal agreement at a special meeting of the Full Council. The council will make a further announcement when Mr Barradell’s start date becomes known.
