Stuart Murray - Executive Director
(Environmental Management & Sustainability)
Stuart’s role is to oversee the management of the borough’s 150 parks
and open spaces. This includes managing the overall direction of Parks
and Countryside, Grounds Maintenance and Haigh Hall. Part of Stuart’s
working life also involves picking up catering and accommodation as
Trust-wide issues.
Originally from Chester, Stuart studied Economics at University in
Sheffield and undertook further study at Wye College in London, where he
gained an MSc in Ecology/Land Management.
Stuart joined Wigan Leisure & Culture Trust from Bolton Metro where he
was Parks and Countryside Manager for six years via Halton, Warrington
and Calderdale. He has previously worked for three other Trusts,
Conservation volunteers, Friends of the Earth, Groundwork and a Private
consultancy: RPS Claustron plc.
Stuart lists his best achievements as converting various old chemical
works and tip sites in Widnes for leisure uses such as golf courses and
country parks. He is also proud of the role he played in the restoration
of the People’s Park in Halifax (one of the very first National Lottery
funded parks schemes).
Partner Annette, children, Robert (10) and Rhona (4), keep Stuart busy
running “Dad’s taxi service”. When Stuart gets the chance, he enjoys
running with his dog Becks, listening to “old hippy stuff” music – Bob
Dylan, Neil Young, JJ Cole - drinking Belgian beers and collecting
glasses to go with them. |
