So, farewell Nigel Harrison, Economic Development Manager

… who slipped away quietly yesterday after having managed to avoid scrutiny of his role in the East Devon Business Forum for the past 18 months – but then EVERYTHING avoids scrutiny at EDDC now.

Will he pop up in South Somerset where the perfect job for him seems to have been recently created?

One thought on “So, farewell Nigel Harrison, Economic Development Manager

  1. Reading this I am reminded of Nigel Harrison’s response to EDA colleague Tony Green and I when we attended a meeting at the Heathpark Business Centre. The Business Forum secretary annoyed by our observations stated “if we don’t like what they (EDBF) were doing then there was always the ballot box.” This caused a chuckle afterwards as I don’t recall the EDDC Economic Development Manager ever being elected by anyone. His comment raises serious questions about partisan officers but according to the Council leader Mr Harrison was only a mere “clerk.” It is of course the CEO Mark Williams and his line manager Cllr Diviani who were responsible for the clerk and instrumental in setting up the EDBF in the first place.
