Molly became Director of People and Organisational Development in April 2021 and leads our teams within Learning & Development, Inclusion & Diversity, and Resource Management as well as ensuring the delivery of high quality HR and Occupational Health services through our Shared Services Partnership (SSP) with Hampshire Constabulary and Hampshire County Council.

She is also a graduate from the UK Fire and Rescue Service Executive Leadership Programme (ELP) and continues to support the programme as an ELP Assessor.
