The Pet Care Trade Association is seeking a new chief executive to develop, drive and deliver a strategic vision for both the PCTA and the Pet Care Trust following the sudden departure of Janet Nunn after eight years at the helm.
The position holder will lead and motivate the staff team of eight in recently refurbished offices in Bedford, and report to two Boards of Directors (comprising top professionals in the pet care industry).
"It is an exciting time to join the PCTA," commented chairman Keith Aldis.
"Two years ago we remodelled as a trade association with a strong commercialised approach to business. As the only membership association to represent all pet specialist sectors, taking on the mantle of figurehead to the entire pet industry is a considerable challenge.
"Because of this, the successful candidate is likely to have an extensive commercial management background, excellent financial acumen as well as brilliant communication and relationship building skills.
"A wide knowledge and network within pet care businesses, associated organisations and government could be a distinct advantage."
Full details of the position are available at www.petcare.org.uk

The closing date for applications is Tuesday 23rd October, 9am.
Expected dates for interviews: first round Friday 9th November, second round Thursday 15th November.
